Abstract
This study investigates the challenges and opportunities in the layout and design of small-scale fruit and vegetable industries in Maharashtra, India. Using a structured questionnaire and observational methods, data was collected from five industries across the state. The research focuses on issues related to workflow efficiency, space allocation, resource utilization, storage, flexibility, safety, material handling, communication, compliance, and utility access. The findings indicate significant inefficiencies and safety concerns, with recommendations for redesigning plant layouts to improve operational performance and compliance with industry standards.
