4. Objectives
Aims to The Successful Consulting
Minimize Total Travel
Distance & Time
Minimize The Scrap
Identify Optimal # of Operators
& Their Utilization
11. Step 1 : Generate Machines’ Layout Alternatives
2
Layout Alternative 2
indicate that a machine assigned to a cell is not required
by all parts assigned to that cell.
indicate that a part assigned to a cell requires processing
by a machine not in the cell.

26. Scenario 2
Dedicated Material Handler’s Utilization
: appx.
Total # of Operators Required including One Material Handler
: 18
1st Recommendation
Adding Dedicated Material Handlers?
Efficiency was not improved
27. Scenario 2
# of Quality Resources Required
: 5 (Based on Quality Control Level)
Total # of Operators Required
: 18
2nd Recommendation
Adding Dedicated Quality Resources?
Efficiency was not improved
30. IT‘s Recommendation
1. Remove the dryer transporting time
2. Reduce travel time with more open space by eliminating the dryer corral
3. Lift trucks are no longer necessary because raw materials are located
on the 2nd floor
4. Shorten travel distance due to more open space on the 2nd floor
5. Save money by decreasing the total number of operators in the plant
6. Cost of changing the layout is moderate compared to the other three
machines’ layout alternatives
Advantages of IT’s Recommendation
31. IT‘s Recommendation
These figures were estimated based on the cost value of Korean molding companies.
$ 1,364 X 33
= appx. $ 45,000
(Fixed Dryer Hoppers)
(Iron Floor )
$ 392 X 1530 Square ft
= appx. $ 600,000
(Oven Dryer )
$ 5,000 X 1
= appx. $ 5,000

Extract the scraps from the finished goods
Insert the scraps into the mixer machine
Insert raw materials into the mixer machine
Mix the scraps with the raw materials(Recycling)
Produce new raw materials

41. Appendix (Pareto Rule)
Select the candidate machine in close proximity to the Group A - machine’s
most critical two NJ locations
Rule 1.
Select the candidate machine which can fit for the Group A - machine’s
space
Rule 2.
Select the candidate machine which is less important by the total contribution
volume than the other candidate machines in Group C
Rule 3.
46. Appendix (Cell Grouping Method)
Step 1
( Machine-part matrix )
The direct clustering algorithm
( Ordered machine-part matrix )
Example
47. Appendix (Cell Grouping Method)
Step 2
( Column-sorted machine-part matrix )
Sorting the columns to move toward
the left all columns having a 1 in the
first row
Step 3
Sorting the rows by moving upward
rows having a 1 in the first column
( Row-sorted machine-part matrix )
48. Appendix (Cell Grouping Method)
Step 4
( Formation of two cells )
The machine can be grouped
into 2 cells
Unfortunately, it is not always
the case that cells can be formed
without conflicts existing
( Formation with conflicts existing )
50. Appendix (Node Method-Floyd Algorythm)
The Floyd–Warshall algorithm compares all possible
paths through the graph between each pair of
vertices.
Therefore, we can define shortestPath(i, j, k) in terms
of the following recursive formula:
