Improved Facility Layout of Manufacturing Production Workshops

Abstract:

Statistics show that, the unreasonably of a workshop facilities layout has a serious impact on the production efficiency of the workshop. According to the existing most unreasonable problems of the facilities layout in case workshop. Systematic layout planning (SLP) was applied to analyze logistics and non-logistics flow interrelation of the case workshop (table 3 and table 4), and obtained the table of integrated relationship of the operating units (table 5), and combined table 5 and the actual area of the operating units in the case workshop, mapped out the operating unit area correlation diagram (Fig. 2). According to the practical conditions, got two optimized layout plans (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). The best layout scheme of the workshop was obtained by using the weighted factor method (table 7). The scheme can make the workshop attain the logistics smooth,transport a short route, effectively utilize working room and resource, and improve the production efficiency of the workshop.
