A good study of layout becomes increasingly necessary due to the great competitiveness existing in the markets, since its use acts as a strategy for the companies, which obtain benefits like improvement of productive flow and reduction of lead-time. The research aims to propose a plant layout aimed at an optimal combination of the activities and resources of a small coffee factory. The methodology used is based on an adaptation of the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), proposed by Muther (1973), in which a data collection was first made through bibliographical and field research, and then, applied some method tools convenient to work. The result presents a 2D layout proposal for factory installation with the help of AutoCAD software. It is concluded that even when not fully employed, SLP is effective for planning layouts.
