Evaluation of The Facility layout on The Fried Onion Production Process

Abstract

Analysis of the design of the facility layout can improve the performance of production lines such as decreasing congestion levels, minimizing material handling costs. PT. XYZ is one of the fried onion companies has constraints on the material handling system that is less efficient because it takes a long time in the process. Therefore, there will be improvements to the layout of PT. XYZ to increase productivity and shorten the time of the production cycle. The method used is From to Chart the method is a conventional technique commonly used for planning factory layouts and moving goods in a production process. From the results obtained that the proposed layout is better than the initial layout with a higher flow efficiency value of 86.18%. The proposed layout utilizes vacant land, so that the production flow does not repeat and does not rotate far, so that the distance between the areas is getting closer.
