Abstract

A small medium industry (SME) is a small scale industry which operates their production according to unpredictable demands. The adaptability on changing demand from time after time makes the SME industry fails to achieve their optimum productivity. It could be better if there are any improvement efforts to support their production. Regarding to this needs, this project was created with the aim to improve the productivity in SME industry. The SME industry that has been chosen is Aneka Snek SDN BHD which located in Johor. According to my observation shows that, many problems was appears from the lack of improper layout condition in this company. In details, it has been captured that the current physical arrangement for production layout was poor and it may causing the higher capital cost for the company. Therefore, the aim for this project has been built so that this problem can be solved effectively. The objective for this project will cover on the finding the optimum facility layout, proper material handling equipment and its contribution to company productivity. It is cited that this project aim to analyse the recent facility layout/material handling equipment and to propose the optimum facility layout/material handling equipment that can improve company productivity up to 5%. However, there are limitations that need to consider before starts on implementing the project methodology. Since that there are unpredictable demands for certain product in Aneka Snek SDN BHD, this project will cover on main products for the company only. Moreover, this project focuses on redesign the production layout whereby productivity will facilitate as a counter measure to justify the expected achievement of the proposed layout. The method used to designing the layout is Graph Based method and the 3D drawing for this layout will be done using Plant Layout tools in CATIA V5. The element/data in Plant layout tools will be recorded using time study method and data are taken at a daily production. The expectation for this project is to helps the SME company to design a good facilities planning and by the same time to enhance the worker safety and healthy through the implementation of proper material handling equipment. It also expected that this company will able to follow their unpredictable demands as well as improving their productivity. In a nutshell, I would suggest that this company should redesign their plant layout and use the proper material handling equipment so that they can actually maximize their profits through a consistent productivity performance.
