The authors propose a synergy of expert approach methods through the Systematic layout planning (SLP) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as tools for the shipyard production process design towards an optimal material flow, in combination with Simulation modeling (SM). Most production process designs are based on the conventional methodology of comparison initiating with benchmarking. Such approach can be misleading. For more reliable and efficient results, the approach suggested by the authors uses a combination of the mentioned three methods within the frame of an expert approach. Firstly, the Systematic layout planning is used for generating a larger number of suboptimal shipyard production process design alternatives. Then, these alternatives are analyzed through an objective decision making tool to reach an optimal material flow alternative. Further, such optimal alternative is tested and evaluated by Simulation modeling (SM). Finally, the presented methodology is confirmed on a case study as a viable approach to an efficient and reliable shipyard production process design.

In this study, the application of a systematic plant layout planning (SLP) to assist the optimum design of process areas and locations is proposed. The number of machines and space requirement in pulley factory is determined. The operation process chart, flow of material and activity relationship chart have been investigated. The relationships between machines, operation sections and material flow are used to determine the suitable position of each activity. The SLP method has been employed to design the two alternative plant layouts and compare the performances between new layout and present layout in term of material flow. The new plant layout is modified by moving a disassembly and surface finish that significantly decrease the distance of material flow, so it is effective increasing production.

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)

Due to introduction of new vehicle models, an automobile manufacturing enterprise usually needs to make corresponding adjustments of the facility layout of the door welding workshop. On the basis of analyzing the production process and logistics characteristics of the welding line, the facility layout of the workshop is improved and the production logistics cost is reduced by using the SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) and internal logistics analysis method. Finally, a real production example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Dhika Putra merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dalam pembuatan tahu. Saat ini kondisi layout fasilitasproduksi dan kondisi fisik lingkungan kerja di perusahaan mengalami kendala. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancangulang tata letak fasilitas pabrik pembuatan tahu yang dapat meminimalkan panjang lintasan material handling sertamenerapkan metode 5S untuk meningkatkan produktivitas kerja. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada perancangan ulangtata letak fasilitas pabrik adalah dengan menggunakan pendekatan Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) yang dapatdikategorikan ke dalam tiga tahapan, yaitu tahap analisis aliran material, tahap penelitian dan tahap proses seleksi.Sedangkan metode 5S terdiri dari beberapa tahapan untuk mengatur kondisi tempat kerja yang berdampak terhadapefektivitas kerja, efisiensi, produktivitas dan keselamatan kerja. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa layout usulanyang terpilih untuk dijadikan layout akhir dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan penurunan panjang lintasan materialhandling yang cukup signifikan yaitu 45 m atau sekitar 19,2% lebih pendek dari layout awal. Berkurangnya panjang aliranmaterial handling layout yang terpilih juga dipengaruhi karena penataan lingkungan kerja dengan metode 5S.Kata kunci: material handling, tata letak fasilitas ����pabrik, systematic layout planning, metode 5SABSTRACTUD. Dhika Putra is a tahu manufacturing company. Currently, the company is having some problems in productionfacility layout and physical environment. This study aimed to redesign the facility layout of tahu manufacturing companyto minimize the path length of material handling and apply the 55 method to enhance work productivity. The approachused to redesign the plant facility layout is Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), which can be categorized in three stages,namely material flow analysis, research, and selection. While the 55 method consist of several steps to organize workplacecondition that affect on the effectiveness, eficiency, productivity, and safety. This study concluded that the chosen layoutfor the final layout showed a significant decrease in path length of material handling, i.e 45 meters or about 19,2%. Thedecreasing of material handling path length on the choosen layout was also influenced by the arrangement of the workplace by using 55 method.Key words: material handling, layout of plant facilities, Systematic layout planning, 5S Method

Facility layout problem (FLP) contemplates the optimization of space utilization, costs, and material flow. Commercial simulation softwares are commonly used to validate layouts by simulating the real world material flow and production process. To validate a layout scenario of a solar module assembly workshop, a 3D simulation model is presented which was designed on VisualComponents software. To begin with, we introduce the layout characteristics and use the systematic layout planning (SLP) method to design the block layout of workshop. Then, we built components library which contains all the facilities needed in the production line, specifically conveyors, processing equipments, robots, buffers. Finally, we have established a simulation layout model using the components in the customized library according to the block layout, and configured the components which were allocated in the layout by setting the parameters and building the connection between components via signal. To improve the performance of the workshop, we have found the best work-in-process (WIP) value for the workshop and the optimal number of workers. Additionally, the layout model was used to test collision and reachability. It demonstrated the production process in a realistic simulation environment which helped in the sales process as well. The reusable component models we have built make it easy to build a layout within a short time and validate the effectiveness of the layout scenarios for any other projects.

This paper is aimed at reducing the costs, maintaining the quality and designing the plant layout that is flexible to meet the customer demand. A number of stations in the after test assembly and after paint assembly are selected for capturing the production process requirements. Then, failure mode and effects analysis of after test assembly is carried out. Layout designs for the after test assembly and after paint assembly are developed using systematic layout planning and are validated using Spaghetti diagrams. With the improved layout, considerable reduction in the distance moved by the operator has resulted in 20 percent cost saving at 80 percent Takt time.
