While industrial sheds offer advantages towards layout of steam and/or compressed air line to every workstation without interrupting environment and workers manoeuvrability (using the vertical space due to high ceiling), the multi-storied buildings offer compactness, security, use of gravity for intelligent material movement. But as many of the factories in developing countries are in metro cities where land cost is high, factories are made in multi-storied buildings (a good example can be seen in India too). Most of the single storey buildings also have mezzanine floors built in to give additional floor space commonly used by managers to keep a hawk’s eye over the entire production floor below. Where rolls of fabric arrived at one end of the unit, progressed through warehousing, cutting, sewing, finishing, on to the finished goods and despatch either in a straight line or a U-shaped flow and then left through the same door or one sited at the opposite end. The single storey high roof industrial shed type of building and layout are by far the best as long as factories are made in sprawling acres of lands. He emphasizes here on floor-to-floor workflow, information flow and movement of people for ease of production. In this article, Paul Collyer discusses the pros and cons of multi-storey factory as a part of a two article series.

This is an additional work for which the customer does not pay! How the work moves through the factory is, of course, to a large degree dictated by the building in which it is housed. Much effort is expended in garment factories in moving work from machine to machine and department to department.
