Some of the equipment layouts for certain functions may already have been completed during the design of the work places. Now the designer will formalize them, first as rough sketch and ultimately in the form of blue prints.  \nThe layout process may be described as two separate stages that occur atthe same time. One stage deals with arrangements of individual pieces of equipment, work tables, and sinks with a unit which comprise a functional area or a functional department i.e. one particular area may be developed for the function of Indian and Tandoor preparations, (or) salad and sandwich preparation, as a single unit.  \nThe second stage of layout process involves arranging the functional areas into a total facility. For e.g. the receiving, storing, prep reparation, production, pot washing areas, and non-production areas such a rest rooms, offices are brought together to form the basic floor plan for the facility.  \nThere may be some doubt as to whether these 2 stages of layout are done  \nat the same time. Even though the designer may be working on one stage or another at any given time, layout design must be considered in term of both stages. In essence, the layout of the total facility must be considered when laying out the component areas and vice versa.  \nConcepts of Layout:  \nThere are 4 concepts of layout for a kitchen plan, they are  \n1. Materials or products  \n2. Machines and equipment  \n3. Workers  \n4. Movement.  \n1. Materials or products  \n􀀁 The products should be designed for ease of production.  \n􀀁 Raw materials used should require minimum no. of processing steps.  \n􀀁 The layout should protect the material from detrimental factors such as moisture, dust, vibration and temperature changes.  \n􀀁 To provide flexible layout to handle change with product  \n􀀁 Material storage area should facilitate taking inventory.  \n􀀁 Provide facilities for storing waste and scrap materials.  \n2. Machines and Equipment’s.  \n􀀁 The equipment provided in the layout should be united to the required processes.  \n􀀁 Maximum use of the equipment should be planned.  \n􀀁 Layout should provide for each operations of the equipment.  \n􀀁 Layout should facilitate movement of mobile equipment.  \n􀀁 Sufficient access space for equipment maintenance should be provided.  \n􀀁 Proper ventilation and exhausting of equipment to be provided.  \n3. Workers:  \n􀀁 Layout should safeguard the workers by eliminating hazards.  \n􀀁 Adequate light should be provided.  \n􀀁 Proper exhaust system for fresh air should be provided.  \n􀀁 Layout should be free of distracting activities.  \n􀀁 Design of work place should correspond to the height of the workers.  \n􀀁 Layout should provide adequate work space.  \n4.Movement:  \n􀀁 Layout should provide for easy movement of material and workers.  \n􀀁 Provide for smooth flow into and out of work place  \n􀀁 Layout should prevent back tracking  \n􀀁 Delays in movement of material should be minimised.  \nLayout configuration: The arrangement of equipment and work places for functional areas is usually is the form of a straight line or in combination and modifications of straight line configurations. The basic patterns that may be used include;  \nSingle straight line arrangement: This is the simplest of designs, but it is limited in the number of pieces of equipment or work places that can be arranged. The straight line arrangement may be placed along a wall or take the form of an island.  \n‘L’ Shaped arrangement: This is a modification of the straight line arrangement to accommodate more equipments and work places, it is sometimes used where linear space is limited. The ‘L’ shaped configuration is suitable for seperating two major groups of equipment. One group of equipment would be placed on one leg of the ‘L’, ","cbCaio3iHqZpYPnL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio3iHqZpYPnL","pdf",129178,14,"English","# Concepts of Layout\n## Materials or products\n## Machines and equipment\n## Workers\n## Movement\n# Layout Configuration\n## Single straight line arrangement\n## L-shaped arrangement\n## U-shaped arrangement\n## Parallel back to back arrangement\n## Parallel face to face arrangement\n# Space Allotted by Functioning Areas\n## Receiving\n## Food storage\n## Pre-preparation\n## Cooking\n## Baking\n## Pot washing\n## Traffic aisles\n## Garbage (wet/dry)\n## Employee facilities\n## Miscellaneous\n# Planning of Various Supporting Services\n## Pot and Pan Washing","[{\"question\":\"What are the two stages of commercial kitchen layout planning described in the document?\",\"answer\":\"One stage develops arrangements of individual equipment and work tables for specific functional departments.
