The Cost

Factors that influence the amount of material handling costs are the distance of material movement, methods, and tools (equipment) used. The distance of material movement is strongly influenced by the layout of the production facility. The new layout design using the SLP method is expected to reduce the distance of material or product movement in PT. A B C. From the analysis results obtained the total distance of material transfer at the initial layout of the production process at PT. ABC of 1761 meters / month with material handling costs of Rp. 315,390,000.00 / month. Then an analysis of the use of material transport equipment results in the replacement of a crane with a sloping plane to connect the production machine. So the cost of material handling using the inclined plane becomes Rp. 0. The use of sloping fields can only be used on certain production machines. By using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method, there are 3 alternative layouts produced. The most optimal alternative layout is alternative layout 3 with monthly material handling cost savings of Rp. 68,100,000.00 or 21% of the initial material handling layout cost.

Abstract – Unplanned layout and inefficient material flow between work units can lead to increased cost. PT Transplan Indonesia's current material flow path is inefficient with material flow distance 115.5 meters and material handling cost that has not been taken into account. This study aims to find out how big the role of facility layout design in cutting the distance of material transfer and pressing the cost of material handling. The method used in this research is Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) approach, which is comparing the distance of material transfer between initial layout with proposed layout. The results of this study indicate that the distance of the material flow path on the production floor with proposed layout changed to 71,7 meters, with material handling cost per meter reduced from Rp. 1,105,954 to Rp. 712,402 or decrease as much as 35%. Based on the results of the research, the layout of the proposal is considered more effective and efficient because it can reduce the distance of material transfer and reduce the cost of material handling on the packing/shipping floor.Keywords: Layout Design; Material handling cost; Systematic Layout Planning (SLP)

The Given

Facility layout problems (FLPs) are concerned with the non-overlapping arrangement of facilities. The objective of many FLP-based studies is to minimize the total material handling cost between facilities, which are considered as rectangular blocks of given space. However, it is important to integrate a layout design associated with continual material flow when the system uses circulating material handling equipment. The present study proposes approaches to solve the layout design and shortest single loop material handling path. Monarch butterfly optimization (MBO), a recently-announced meta-heuristic algorithm, is applied to determine the layout configuration. A loop construction method is proposed to construct a single loop material handling path for the given layout in every MBO iteration. A slicing tree structure (STS) is used to represent the layout configuration in solution form. A total of 11 instances are tested to evaluate the algorithm’s performance. The proposed approach generates solutions as intended within a reasonable amount of time.

The paper proposes the results of a research project developed by the authors in collaboration with a production system working in the field of manufacturing wood products. The first step of the project was an accurate analysis of the system and the design of new production documents in order to collect data about the system itself. The collected data have been used to propose an initial solution of plant lay-out. The second step of the project was the construction of a simulation model. The model has been used to find an optimal plant- layout configuration by means of genetic algorithms with the goal of material handling cost and shop order flow time minimization.

This study aims to obtain an optimal facility layout by considering the distance between the workstations, transfer time, and material handling cost in a bakery. The research was conducted at a medium-scale bread producer CV Mumtaz Bakery in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan. The initial layout of CV Mumtaz Bakery's production facilities is considered as not optimal for production capacity up to 500 kg per day. The layout analysis and the appearance of improvement alternatives were carried out using the BLOCPLAN algorithm, and then the design implementation was carried out using CorelDraw software. Determination of the best layout alternative is based on the highest R-Score. The results showed that the best layout was the one with an R-Score of 0.86. This selected workstation layout has a total distance between processing stations of 31.70 m, a total transfer time of 25 seconds, and a material handling cost of IDR 434.29 for each batch. This layout will reduce the total material transfer distance and the material transfer time from the initial layout by 14.67% and 10.7% respectively.

Initial Layout

Activities carried out in the warehouse include material handling. Generally, the costs involved in material handling activities are quite large. One method that can be used in managing the layout of raw material placement in raw material warehouses is the class based storage method. Class based storage is a policy that divides storage into three classes A, B and C based on Pareto law. Pareto law is the principle of putting items that have the greatest accessibility near the Input-Output point. The distance of material handling to the initial layout raw material warehouse is 3,513,337 meters / month and the material handling costs are Rp. 134,534,765 / month, because the initial layout of the raw material warehouse still uses random storage and the raw materials that are widely used are not placed close to the intake floor of the production, so that the distance to get raw materials for production needs is far. After the re-layout design was made based on the placement of raw materials in the class based storage method, the material handling transfer distance was reduced to 2,644,459 meters / month and the material handling cost for the repair raw material warehouse layout fell to Rp. 99,949,520 / month. In other words, there was a decrease in material handling distance by 25% and material handling costs by 26%.

The general Facility Layout Problem deals with the arrangement of machines within the facility based on the constraints such as material flow distance, volume of flow of products, material handling cost and operation sequence of product. The facility layout problem is directly linked with the efficiency of the facility or the manufacturing line. The objective of this project is to design a simulation based methodology experiment on designing an optimized facility layout and evaluating the proposed alternative layouts using ARENA simulation. This project is conducted at Benteng Motor Sdn. Bhd. in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Currently, the company is planning to expand their manufacturing plant and hence the company needs an optimized facility layout to maximize the product capacity and manufacturing throughput time on a minimum utilization of resources environment. An eight steps simulation methodology is being proposed to design an optimized facility layout. A manufacturing re-engineering scenario has been developed to improve the existing system. The proposed scenario was evaluated using Arena simulation student package. The scenario has significantly increases the production capacity up to 225%, decrease the manufacturing throughput time by 19% as well as increase the utilization of majority of the manufacturing resources more than 200%.
