Plant layout of an industry is most important task for obtaining least total cost of materials handling, and is one of the most important field which affects the efficiency and productivity. Once the building is made and plant is commissioned, it is difficult to change it. Further, the orderly flow, minimising expenditure on materials handling and productivity, largely depends on the plant layout. For a good layout it is most essential to have minimum bottleneck, congestion, back-tracking and maximum cubic space utilisation.
