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)

PT. Adhimix Precast Indonesia is engaged in the construction sector by producing concrete and construction. Layout design is needed so that the existing land can be utilized optimally and material transfer is more effective and efficient. This can affect the distance and time of the transfer so that the cost of moving can be minimized. In practice, the company's trajectory condition only has one path (trajectory) for alternating current and crossing production lines, so it is considered inefficient to move both goods and workers, coupled with the existence of land that is not used properly, therefore improvements are needed to the production floor layout. in order to minimize the cost of moving goods and have a definite path (trajectory). Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) is a method for redesigning a layout (re-layout) based on the results of distance optimization and Material Handling Costs (OMH). The amount of OMH in the initial layout (now) is Rp. 2,614,200 with a total track distance of 39.82m and OMH in the proposed layout with a total track distance of 19.17m, the result is Rp. 1,534,200, this proves that the proposed layout can be applied because there is a decrease in total OMH by 35.44% or Rp. 926,580. PT. Adhimix Precast Indonesia bergerak di bidang pembangunan dengan memproduksi beton dan konstruksi. Perancangan tata letak diperlukan agar lahan yang ada dapat dimanfaatkan dengan maksimal dan pepindahan material lebih efektif dan efisien. Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi besar jarak dan waktu perpindahan sehingga besar biaya perpindahan dapat diminimalkan. Pada pelaksanaannya kondisi lintasan perusahaan hanya memiliki satu jalur (lintasan) untuk arus bolak balik dan persilangan alur produksi maka dianggap tidak efisien untuk dilakukan perpindahan baik barang maupun pekerja, ditambah dengan adanya lahan yang tidak dimanfaatkan dengan baik oleh karena itu dibutuhkan perbaikan pada layout lantai produksi agar dapat meminimalkan biaya perpindahan barang dan memiliki jalur (lintasan) yang pasti. Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) merupakan metode untuk membuat perancangan ulang suatu layout (re-layout) berdasarkan hasil dari optimalisasi jarak dan Ongkos Material Handling (OMH). Besar OMH pada layout awal (sekarang) adalah Rp 2.614.200 dengan total jarak lintasan 39,82m dan OMH pada layout usulan dengan total jarak lintasan 19,17m didapat hasil sebesar Rp. 1.534.200, hal ini membuktikan bahwa layout usulan dapat diterapkan karena terjadi penurunan total OMH sebesar 35,44% atau Rp.

Good equipment and product design are meaningless if there is no good layout planning. Problems owned by PT. Pilar Kekar Plasindo occurs in the production of small polyethylene. This is because small polyethylene production has large material total transfer distance. Small polyethylene problems include the distance between stations, cross-movement, backtracking, and the broken machine that is still placed in the production section. These conditions make the material handling costs and distance large. Therefore, this research aims to produce a layout design of production facilities that can minimize the distance and cost of material movement. The method used in this study is Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). Three alternative designs were compared, and the second proposed facility layout was chosen because it can reduce the total cost of material transfer by 68.3% and reduce the distance of material transfer by 59.6% from the initial facility layout.

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.

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%.

Facility layout is integrated planning of the flow of a product in an operating system to obtain the most effective and efficient interrelation between workers, materials, machinery, and equipment as well as handling and transferring materials. A company engaged in furniture manufacturing has a problem in its production process, namely, the distance between machines is too far so that it affects the cost of handling materials. Distant workstations are found on profile machines, milling machines, measuring machines, cutting machines. Therefore, improvements must be made to the layout of facilities on the production floor so that facility layout is efficient and material handling costs are reduced. The problem-solving approach used is the Graph Method and CRAFT Algorithm. The results of the research show that material handling costs are reduced by 7.58% or Rp. 17,765 using the CRAFT algorithm.

The storage allocation in warehouse is about of deciding the corresponding areas in which the products must be allocated. It can be made using different techniques to stablish the specific position for the products. Some applications provide solutions and evaluate results independently, allowing the identification of its potential in warehouses. This paper presents the application of a storage allocation model in a food company considering several products in a defined time horizon. The algorithm identifies the operation area and the corresponding spaces that are required for the products allocation, aimed to reduce holding and material handling costs. As a result, the application of the algorithm produces a complete product allocation in each period and improves the cost efficiency in the warehouse.
