Abstract :
Facility layout design represents a fundamental component of operations management, particularly in optimizing space utilization, enhancing material flow, and improving overall operational efficiency. This study focuses on a company engaged in the processing and distribution of broiler chickens, where the current clean area layout was identified as inefficient due to excessive material flow distances and suboptimal workspace arrangement. To address these issues, the study analyzes the existing design and proposes improvements using the established methods of Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). Data collection involved direct observation, interviews, and literature review. The SLP method emphasizes qualitative analysis through activity relationship charts and diagrams. The findings demonstrate that the layout developed through the SLP method substantially enhances material flow efficiency and promotes a more systematic organization of the workspace. The SLP-based design improves overall production flow and supports higher levels of productivity and operational sustainability by eliminating unnecessary movements and establishing a streamlined sequence of operations. Based on these findings, SLP is recommended as the preferred approach for redesigning the clean area layout to support more efficient production processes.
