A practical checklist for manufacturing teams planning a new production line or reviewing an existing one before the layout and equipment are fixed.
Review the flow before you commit to the equipment
A production line should be designed around how work, materials and people need to flow, not simply around where equipment will fit.
Use this checklist to challenge the layout before decisions become expensive to change.
- Material flow
- Operator movement
- WIP and handoffs
- Point-of-use supply
- Replenishment routes
- Ergonomics
- Available floor space
- Future capacity
What you will get
15 practical questions to work through with your production, engineering or continuous-improvement team before approving a new layout or redesign.

Production Line Layout Checklist Request
Built from real production-line design work
The checklist reflects the same issues ATC considers when developing production layouts and engineered-to-order equipment: process sequence, material presentation, operator movement, WIP, ergonomics, replenishment, available space and future volume requirements.
Already working on a production layout?
ATC designs and manufactures engineered-to-order production lines, workstations and material-flow systems around the way your process needs to work.
If you already have a layout, sketch, photographs or process information, send them to us and we can discuss the requirement with you.
