Abstract
The main aim of this research is to improve the layout of the production line by minimizing transportation waste that directly affected employees’ workflow and the movement of materials. The study applies the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology to analyze material flow and the relationship between each production activity and focusing on transforming the existing process-oriented layout into a more efficient configuration by generating 3 different alternatives of production layouts based on SLP theory. Three alternatives of proposed SLP layout were developed and visualized by using Adobe Photoshop CC program for comparative analysis. The results was presented that SLP Layout 1 achieved the minimum distance of 97.6 meters, followed by SLP Layout 3 with 126.6 meters, and SLP Layout 2 with 150.5 meters, respectively. These findings were presented that SLP layout 1 reduced transportation distance of material along the production line and improves production efficiency.
