Production is the main thing in a manufacturing industry. Production activity would work well if the flow pattern of the material in the production floor smoothly. Better transfer of material will speed up the completion of a product. Intense competition in the manufacturing industry forced the industry to make the material flow to be short. This can be done by resetting the engine layout in such a way. Industry Furniture X as one of the furniture industry in the city of Palembang that manufacture products based on the make to order. The product has so many variations of high material flow and higher material handling costs. The distance between the machines far enough too play a role in the cost of material handling.The layout of the fractal method can produce a short distance between the machine and more flexible to address the varying conditions of the product. This method will form fractals that have the same ability to make the production process, in which fractal is formed of two pieces, each of which consists of 9 pieces of machinery . In the proposed layout is formed , the machines were experiencing engine displacement is 1A , 1B , 1C , 2B , 3B , 4 , 5 , 6A , 6B , 7 ,8A, 8B, 10A, and 10B. This method was successful in reducing the material displacement distance during research periode of 58,125 meter or 6.251% and the cost of material movement during research periode Rp 27.971,9375 and during one year Rp 559.438,75 or 3,066 %.

Manufacturing companies spend a significant amount of time and money designing or redesigning their facilities. It is an extremely important function that must be addressed before products are produced. Manufacturing company’s common problem is that they do not have a pattern for placing goods in their warehouse. It leads to problems such as difficulties when taking the product from storage. With storage procedures like this, it can make long total distance for loading and unloading the goods. Dedicated storage policy where storage is done at a certain location according to the type of item needs to be made. The advantage of this method is ease in finding goods as the location can be tailored to the shape of the goods. The research results show an efficiency of the displacement distance of 4117 m, the initial layout distance of moving goods is 5740 m, while in the proposed layout it is 1622 m.

The case study shows the re-optimization of an initial new factory layout design with Value Stream Design (VSD). The VSD is a quantitative method and its’ final goal is to make a waste free optimized material flow. The primary goal of arrangement is to reduce transportation distances and frequencies, optimize human load. Initially the whole factory shop floor layout design was already made in push concept. The plans were made by production management, logistics, engineering department at the headquarter of the multinational automotive company with based on VDI2870 holistic concept linking strategy on tactics and operation. On the layout (v1.) the hundreds of machines were placed and arranged by CAD (Computer Design) engineers to fit the space. The factory building has 15,000 m2 with empty shop floor waiting for the final decisions for equipment. The factory production area was shared into six main production areas (P1-P6), which correlates with their product complexity of the product families. Each production area output can be finished product (FP) or semi-finished product (SFP) for the next production areas. To validate the whole factory layout it was necessary to involve lean experts that identified disadvantages and constraints. Without lean implementation the company’s transportation waste would be 49% more per year. The Value Stream Design importance nowadays is upgrading to a higher level, when the whole global business is changed, the labor force fluctuates, and the cost and delivery time reduction plays a vital role in the company’s profit and future. The research shows that if the decision taking is based on real data and facts the controlling and management can do its best in time. Using VSD and re-evaluating the transportation routes, frequency and costs is the first step to define a smooth, low cost, material flow (v2.). This development ensured the company to drive from push to pull production through mixed production system. Originally, the production flow was clockwise orientation. It was changed step by step to mixed production by eliminating work in process storages, implementing FIFO lanes, Milk Run, and Kanban. The total annual transportation distances were reduced from 4,905,000 m between the rump-up and serial production period. The warehouse storage size was reduced to 50% and implementation cost from €75,000 to €32,500. By eliminating work in process storages along production lines it was possible to open a new two way transportation road that also will serve the AGV’s operations in industry 4.0 projects. Due to decreased lead time the logistic labor productivity increased by 45%. Besides taking measurements for the VSD it was used Value Stream Mapping as a lean tool and an own designed VSD evaluation and a simulation software. The VSD team’s cooperative actions reduced the evaluation and validation time with 65% then it was initially planned. The implementations were evaluated from the rump-up phase to the first serial productions and the results were confirmed by controlling and management
