Abstract

The purpose of this project is to redesign facility layout by using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method. The target of this project is a textile company which is only focus at weaving department/building. Based on the observation, it was found that the current design of layout indicate some inefficiency in terms of process flow and material handling. This project will analyze the current layout and redesign the alternative new layout for the better improvement. The data collected were the dimension of current layout, type of production, distance between departments, size of departments, activities or processes involves and process flow of the product. After the data collection, serial of steps base on Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) was carried out. The first step is built the activity relationship chart which show the closeness of each section. Then from the chart, the relationship diagram was generated, and followed by it was the space relationship diagram, from those result layouts was generated. The alternative layout then be evaluated based on the most improvement expected to be perform from this layout in term of the total movement for one week production. As conclusion, the generated alternative layout provides improvement in term of total movement traveled in production and provides some recommendations for the better improvement to the layout in future.
