Factory layout reference guide

(Plant Layout Reference Guide) Job Tracking In order to maximize the production efficiency and reduce the bottlenecks at each stage in the production process, it is necessary to master the “job tracking” technology, which enables the production staff to understand the production process at a certain time. When it comes to that point, when will it enter the next workspace? Job tracking is a quick and convenient tool, usually specified in accordance with the following model, but different companies can modify it according to the specific circumstances within their own company. 1. Preparation stage; 2. Each component is ready for printing; 3. Prepare the next job so that the printing press does not stop; 4. Printing production process 5. Bookbinding process 6. Storage 7. Shipment equipment positioning The layout of the plant is to place the required equipment in the production sequence of the plant from start to finish. For most enterprises, the plant layout represents the company's process flow. In the process of arranging the plant area, the relative position between equipments is a crucial factor, and it is also a variable factor. The parameters that different companies need to consider are different. In the following, some suggestions are made for the positioning of the equipment, taking into account the interrelationship between each branch in the process flow and the efficiency of product flow. Print Area 1. When positioning the printer, the degree of difficulty in transferring the substrate to the dryer or the paper holder should be considered; Draw the area on the floor where you wish to place the equipment; 3. There should be enough space between equipment to ensure air circulation, especially those with shorter equipment. Determine the location of material storage before entering the print area; 5. Determine the optimal placement of the substrate in the printing process and allow additional floor space for stacking in sequence; Understand where the product is sent after it passes through the dryer; 7. Check the energy dissipation performance of the dryer. Determine the location of power lines, lead pipes, drainage pipes, air pipes, etc., and whether they are easily accessible to various regions; Determine the quality inspection area within or adjacent to the production line; 10. Keep a sufficient distance between the wall and the equipment as a safe passage; 11. Leave a sufficient distance as a maintenance area; 12. Consider that new equipment may be added in the future; 13. To ensure the safety of operators, no bottleneck should be left in any place. Once an emergency occurs, normal evacuation can be guaranteed. Material Disposal Moving materials from one place to another is a time-consuming operation. Proper layout of the plant can effectively reduce the time spent on this. Using the best material handling equipment to move paper and other items can greatly help improve productivity. The following are the recommendations made by the printing plant for selecting lifts: 1. The type of material being disposed; 2. The weight of the load; 3. Distance of movement; 4. The width of the existing corridor; 5. The height of the lift; 6. Ground conditions; 7. The required operating space for each device; 8. The freshness of the top, whether there is something blocking; Loading and unloading conditions - loading yards, ramps, etc.; 10. When the material is being transported, is it placed on a pad or in a box? 11. Whether the equipment has the ability to handle secondary operations; The performance of the equipment should be considered, and not only the price factor.
