Research on the Layout Optimization of the Production Area in an Auto Parts Manufacturing Enterprise Based on SLP

Abstract

At present, in the field of production layout in the automotive parts industry, the overall situation still mainly follows the traditional functional zoning model. The organization of logistics and the spatial configuration of operation units are rather rough, and a highly efficient and coordinated systematic layout system has not yet been formed, which is at odds with the industry's demands for intelligence and flexibility. This paper takes D enterprise, which specializes in automotive parts production, as a case to analyze and optimize this issue. Currently, the Z-type automotive sensor production plant of D enterprise is confronted with problems such as high logistics costs and long logistics distances between production operation units, which are due to an unreasonable layout. To address this issue, this paper adopts the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method as an optimization approach. Specifically, this paper first comprehensively analyzes the logistics relationships, non-logistics relationships, and comprehensive logistics relationships within the plant, and explores the positional relationships among various operation units. On this basis, in combination with the actual production situation, a set of scientific and feasible workshop layout optimization plan is formulated. This plan not only effectively achieves the dual goals of cost savings and efficiency improvement, but also provides reliable theoretical support for similar enterprises in optimizing their workshop layouts. Through this research, the production efficiency of D enterprise has been significantly improved, and it also provides a reference for other enterprises in the industry in optimizing their layouts.
