USING THE SLP METHOD IN THE DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING CELLS

Flexible manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly important as customers increasingly want customized products. Also, the trend of the product life cycles to become shorter and shorter causes the proliferation of flexible manufacturing systems. Proper layout is key to making the manufacturing system truly flexible. Novel research and this article show how the Systematic Layout Planning method can be applied to the design of flexible manufacturing systems and, going further, how the design process can be supported by manufacturing process simulation.

RESEARCH OF THE SLP METHOD TO IMPROVE THE LAYOUT OF AN ICE CREAM FACTORY

The problems of physical arrangement for the organizations are relevant when have space and material movements limitations. Reviewing layouts is a way to improve the industrial production process. Therefore, the objective of this present academic work is to propose a layout for an ice cream factory's production, considering analysis of alternatives to increase productivity. The Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) Simplified method was used as the main tool for the construction of the layout proposal. A case study was carried out which investigates a phenomenon within a real context through an in-depth analysis of a study object. The method was used systematically and validated from the fifth step, where a qualitative comparation between the current layout and the alternative submitted. As a result, is achieved an optimized, complete, detailed layout plan that reduces 21,30% of the factory handling cost.

Research Methodology for Selection of Optimum Plant Layout

This paper proposes an efficient and flexible research methodology for selection of plant layout for optimum utilization of resources and deal with future change. It consists of two steps, one for generating the layout alterative and other for selecting the optimum layout, generation of layout with the help of SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) and selection of optimum layout by using MCDM tools and technique by considering weight of each criteria. this research framework consists of define the problem, data collection, generation of alternative, selection of criteria & criteria score, MCDM tools & technique and selection & maintain. this methodology allows flexibility to be incorporated into the design of a new plant layout or provide improvement in exiting one.

Optimization Of the Manufacturing Process for School Portfolios Through the Implementation of The Cellular Layout

One of the most common problems encountered in the manufacturing process is improper layout. About 30% of production time is wasted on transporting materials and products. The causes of this waste are problems in the disposition of stock and machines in production, that is, in the factory layout production of school desks became more efficient with the use of the cell layout. The result found was that with the implementation of the cell layout, there was an increase in the number of wallets produced and a reduction in the waste of materials. It is concluded that the. In this context, the production line based on the cellular layout has been an excellent ally, since the cells of this layout can improve the use of available space, without increasing costs due to major renovations or constructions. To prove such improvements, through the implementation of the cell layout, the PSL method (Systematic Layout Planning) was used, which follows steps such as data collection, analysis of necessary and available space, and factory limitations. With these stages of knowledge and analysis of the factory, it becomes possible to discard layouts that do not fit the characteristics of the company, whether related to financial resources, available space, and factory culture. Using the Chi-Square test for statistical analysis, it was possible to verify that the cell layout is an efficient optimization tool in the school desks production process, as it brought numerous benefits to the factory under studies, such as increased productivity, greater organization, and flexibility in the processes.

Perancangan Tata Letak Stasiun Kerja dengan Menggunakan Metode Systematic Layout Planning

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.

Usulan Perbaikan Tata Letak Fasilitas Pabrik Tahu dengan Metode Systematic Layout Planning

Tingkat persaingan yang tinggi dalam industri ini akhirnya mengharuskan untuk menentukan strategi-strategi yang tepat agar dapat menjaga produktivitas sehingga keuntungan yang didapatkan pun dapat terus ditingkatkan. UKM BM adalah salah satu usaha yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan kedelai yaitu memproduksi tahu. Keadaan lantai produksi di UKM BM saat ini masih belum tersusun dengan tepat. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada dari bentuk pola aliran bahan yang ada. Pola aliran yang tidak teratur membuat timbulnya <em>back-tracking </em>dari perpindahan aliran bahan didalam proses produksi yang berdampak pada ongkos <em>material handling</em>. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya suatu pertimbangan bagaimana membuat atau mengubah tata letak fasilitas yang lebih efektif dan efisien, Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah merekomendasikan suatu rancangan tata letak fasilitas produksi tahu yang baru dengan optimalisasi yang diperoleh dari segi jarak tempuh aliran bahan. Perancangan tata letak menggunakan metode Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) dibuat untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan yang menyangkut berbagai macam permasalahan aliran material produski, transpotasi, pergudangan, <em>supporting, </em>perakitan dan aktivitas kantor adapun hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Jarak <em>material handling </em>pada <em>layout</em> awal yaitu 537.5 meter/ produksi dengan ongkos <em>material handling</em> Rp. 60.000/ produksi. hasil rancangan perbaikan pada <em>layout </em>usulan menunjukan jarak <em>material handling</em> lebih pendek yaitu 424.5 meter/ produksi dengan ongkos <em>material handling</em> Rp. 47.374/ produksi.
