Application of SLP to the Layout Design of Workshop in a Motorcycle Company

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, a layout redesign case study from a motorcycle company is presented by applying systematic layout planning (SLP) method. The relation graph for all workshops in the company is obtained by analyzing the material and nonmaterial flows. This results in two preliminary layout plans. These two plans are compared by examining the material handling efficiency, space utilization, management convenience, etc., and the final design is obtained. By this layout redesign, productivity can be increased by 18% and production capacity is increased such that the requirement of 1 600 engines per day can be met.

Key words: systematic layout planning (SLP), facility layout, material flow relationship
