OPTIMIZATION PRODUCTION FLOOR LAYOUT IN AN ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY USING THE PRODUCT LAYOUT APPROACH

Abstract

This report aims to present a study on redesigning the production floor layout in an electronic appliance manufacturing company using a product layout approach. The study was initiated to improve the overall efficiency of the production process and reduce production costs. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the existing layout of the production floor, highlighting the key strengths and weaknesses of the current design. The study identifies the areas of the production floor that are causing bottlenecks and delays and recommends potential changes to the layout that could reduce these issues. The report describes the proposed layout design and its potential benefits, including improved flow of materials, reduced handling and transportation time, and increased production process efficiency. The study concludes with a discussion of the potential challenges that may arise while implementing the new layout and recommends strategies for overcoming them. Overall, this study is expected to result in significant improvements in production efficiency, reduced cycle times, and increased throughput, thereby enhancing the company's competitiveness in the market. This study found that batch size changes from 20% to 10%, and 33.3% of space is utilized for external cabinets.
