Research on layout optimization of a certain workshop based on SLP

Abstract

 With the development of the economy, competition among enterprises has become more and more intense, and the market's requirements for enterprises are getting higher and higher in all aspects. In particular, cost has become an important bottleneck for enterprise development. Having a reasonable facility layout design (SLP) can reduce material handling costs and shorten the moving distance of production personnel, thereby improving the efficiency of the production system. This study will use SLP technology to analyze and improve the current layout of a company's sofa processing workshop. In the first step, the production process and logistics flow of the workshop were analyzed and measured, and it was found that the production system had problems such as repeated handling of materials, roundabout logistics lines, and complex logistics operations. The second step is to use the relationship diagram between logistics and operating units, and make appropriate adjustments to shorten the transportation distance of materials, reduce transportation time, and make the layout more reasonable and production while ensuring that it can adapt to product processing, process flow, etc. Logistics operations are smoother, achieving the purpose of improving the economic benefits of the entire production system. Finally, two sets of optimized layout plans were determined based on the specific conditions of the workshop and the weighted factor method was used to evaluate the plans to determine the best layout plan.
