Calculating floor space requirements A planning department for the ABC Company consists of 13 machines that perform turning operations. Five turret lathes, six automatic screw machines, and two chuckers are included in the planning department. Bar stock, in 8 feet bundles, is delivered to the machines. The "footprints" for the machines are 4 feet 12 feet for turret lathes, 4 feet 14 feet for screw machines, and 5 feet 6 feet for chuckers. Personnel space footprints of 4 feet 5 feet are used. Material storage requirements are estimated to be 20ft2 per turret lathe, 40ft2 per screw machine, and 50ft2 per chucker. An aisle space allowance of 13% is used. The space calculations are summarized in Figure 3.45. A total of 1447ft2 of floor space is required for the planning department. If space is to be provided in the planning department for a supervisor's desk, it must be added to the total for equipment, materials, personnel, and aisles. Notice that in this example, Company ABC has organized the machines in a process planning department, and provisions for tooling, feedback boards, autonomous maintenance, quick changeovers, quality assurance, and team meetings have not been included in the design. It is also assumed that flexible material handling equipment alternatives are used to move materials, in-process inventory, and finished goods
