Improvement plant layout of production line in textile company: A case study

Abstract:

This research took place of a textile company, its primary object was to design a layout for a specific area of production line, applying methods of plant distribution. The project began with the description of basic theories which were used to enable the research, continuing realizing diagnosing the production system where the flow of materials was examined, and the current layout was observed. Alternative solutions were created and a practicable solution for the layout was established by using Systematic Layout Planning; to test the solution mentioned above, the quantitative methods called Computer Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique and Computerized Relationship Layout Planning were applied. Furthermore, a final solution for the layout was proposed in which the organization of two working departments was designed with a production flow of the U-type.
