The document discusses applying the systematic layout planning (SLP) method to optimize a manufacturing system's layout. It analyzes the current layout of a steel piston cylinder factory, including material flow and the distances between operations. The SLP method is then used to design a new layout that significantly decreases the distance traveled for material flow from raw material storage to packing and improves work flow continuity by arranging manufacturing sequences. This optimized layout reduces costs and inefficiencies compared to the original layout.

2.  In the present work, the layout design is an important task when a
manufacturing system is constructed, or expanded.
 If the facilities are arranged optimally, manufacturers can decrease
work – in – process, material-handling costs, total production costs
and significantly enhance a system’s efficiency.. There are varieties
of selection and placement procedures in several construction
layouts.
 The detailed study of the plant layout such as operation process
chart, flow of material and activity relationship chart has been
investigated. The new plant layout has been designed and
compared with the present plant layout.
 The SLP method showed that new plant layout significantly
decrease the distance of material flow from raw material storage to
packing department.

3.  The present layout and operation process of each section(i.e.
material storage, cutting, machining shop, fabrication shop,
assembly and inspection section and finish product storage)
have been investigated.
 Travel Chart Technique is applied to minimize wastes of time,
manpower and money and to generate higher profits for the
same work from the same resources.
 The SLP method showed that new plant layout significantly
decrease the distance of material flow from billet cutting process
until keeping in ware house.
 This research describes original plant layout, material flow
analysis, which includes area and distance between operation A
and B, through such a steel piston cylinder factory that was case
study

According to the study of the
manufacturing process, it was
found that the long distance
could be reduced for moving
raw materials and the problem
about useless area could be
solved. The way to improve the
plant was to apply SLP method
to make the work flow
continually by arranging the
important sequence of the
manufacturing.
