Google updates search with Google Instant

Google has updated its search capability with Google Instant, which uses 15 new technologies to display results as users type in search terms.

Google Instant builds upon the company's search autocompletion technology by executing the top suggested query and returning results with each keystroke.

According to Google, people read about 10 times faster than they type, which means they can scan a results page while they type.

"You get to the right content much faster than before because you don't have to finish typing your full search term, or even press search," Google said in a blog post.

The idea is that seeing results as they type will help users to formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback.

You can now adapt your search on the fly, until the results match exactly what you want," said Google.
Google Instant will shave between two and five seconds off the average search, according to Google research, although it is not yet available for mobile devices.

The new approach to search is being rolled out to Google account holders and Google.com users in the coming weeks, but may require a browser update.

Importance of Factory Layout Design - Project Management

A successful Factory Layout Design must consider work done; flow and routing of output, equipment size, capability and capacity considering product mix, crew sizes and skills, inventory and cycle time goals, material handling and safety.



Project Management- Project management is the well-designed and well-organized planning to handle a project to fulfill its goals and produces adequate results related to it. Project management consultants are specialized people who understand and realize the requirement of the project.



Factory Layout Design, or the physical organization of people, materials and machines within a workplace, is at the very heart of productivity



A properly designed Factory layout is an important source of competitive advantage. It can:

1. Operate At Low Cost



2. Provide Fast Delivery



3. Accommodate Frequent New Products



4. Produce Many Varied Products



5. Produce High or Low Volume Products



6. Produce At The Highest Quality Level



7. Provide Unique Services Or Features

Benefits of a thoughtful layout



By analyzing and improving workplace (and workspace) layout, it is possible to:

1. Position today's output, personnel, process and equipment efficiently within the facility.

2. Organize and cut through the "spaghetti" flow that adds distance and confusion. Optimize product flow through the process, make it visible. Simplify and reduce product and personnel movement.

3. Place work stations and inventory to amplify their interactions.

4. Add output, capacity and utilization by relieving space constraints.

5. Reduce handling and damage to product.

6. Simplify organization of material from receiving through shipping.

7. Allow for future growth or consolidation.



8. Modernize arrangements which no longer fit the business model or economy. If your organization makes improvements as we move out of the downturn, you can achieve immediate results, as well as form a base for continuing improvement.



Factory Layout implementation



Factory Layouts tend to be fixed in place for a long time, because a new one can be expensive and cause disruption as it is installed. And too, a layout will probably be obsolescent soon after it is put in due to new equipment or product or a shift in volumes.


Factory Layout implementation cost and complexity varies; if utilities such as water and drains are under a concrete floor, a change will be long and expensive. Many modern buildings provide utility access from the ceilings, even drains, and changes can be accomplished much more readily and swiftly. If possible, place really permanent objects together to minimize the obstructions to later expansion or rearrangement.
