Plant layout is the art and science of bringing together men, machines, materials, methods and supporting facilities in form of given arrangements that sits individual industrial activity to have benefits maximizations through economy, efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. To have better performance optimizing product movements is essential, for this the relative techniques are needed. There are optimization techniques are available namely simulation technique, Heuristic techniques such as Genetic Algorithms (G A). Simulated Annealing (SA) and Tabu Search are the fundamental and commonly used heuristic methods for optimization of the plant layout design. The idea of this paper is to analysis’ the few plant layout techniques in order to improve the overall performance of the production system at large. The various measures of the plant layout viz; bottleneck rate, idle time and percentage utilization of men, machines, space and equipment can be improved by effective analysis of plant layout techniques. The researchers have been attempted in order to find optimum plant layout design by using the various plant techniques. At large the simulation abased optimization techniques is more suitable and preferable plant layout technique. This paper present literature, findings and important research direction on plant layout methods proposed a combination of heuristic method base on simulation.
