Improvement in Layout Design using SLP of a small size manufacturing unit: A case study

Abstract

The paper presents an application of the SLP (System Layout Planning) method for establishing, in an efficient manner, the layout of a productive enterprise. A case study is described in the paper, referring to a factory designated for manufacturing steel almirah. The phases of the SLP method application are described in the paper together with the presentation of one particular product given as example. The optimal solution of the productive system's layout is selected by analyzing three possible identified alternatives.
