Experiment Name:

Lab report: Study on layout plan of spinning lab

Introduction:

Layout planning is a technique of locating machines based on the product operation in order to ensure the highest possible output with high quality. In other words, Layout planning is determining the best physical arrangement of all resources that consume space within a facility. For a textile factory, a good layout plan is crucial since it will reduce production costs and deliver high quality products to customers. We will learn the layout plan of our spinning lab in this experiment.

Objectives:

  1. To learn about the yarn laboratory/short staple spinning laboratory.
  2. Learn about the spinning lab machine
  3. Obtaining information about different types of machines.
