It is concluded that the proposed “Cluster-layout Concept” based on a cluster, dimensioned in module, which consists of five rooms, an inner corridor, and a preparation room, is one of most suitable process configuration through the comprehensive study in comparison with a conventional grouping layout , a stand-alone equipment layout and a simple line layout.
