Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design an improved production layout for a shoe making factory. However, not all the production layout was re-layout. The area of focused was the Making Department. This research project is done by identifying the layout problems. In the beginning, the problems, objectives and scopes of the project were determined. The scope of this project is to study the layout and the layout problems in the Sepatu Timur Sdn. Bhd, production layout. The area of study was focused at the Making Deprtment. The research started by drawing the existing layout using the CATIA software. In order to draw the layout, the measurement for the machines was taken at the shoe factory. After that, the layout was analyzed to identify the problems occur. Next the layout was analyzed using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology. The activity relationship chart was developed based on the data and understanding the roles and relationship between activities, a material flow analysis (from to chart) and an activity relationship analysis (activity relationship chart). From the analysis performed, a relationship diagram is developed. Next the space relationship diagram is developed. Using the balancing advantages and disadvantages method, alternatives are developed and evaluated. At the end of the research, the preferred alternative layout is then identified and recommended. For the future work, it is recommended to focus at other area such as Soling Department. It is also recommended to use other method to evaluate the layout.
