The plant shop floor layout of a company manufactures gear bush is analysed in this study along with the application of the systematic layout planning (SLP) technique as a means of resolving the issue.The interaction between machines, operational tasks, and material flow is taken into consideration when deciding where each machine should be placed. The relationship between machines and plant area has looked into in detail, together with the activity relationship chart, process chart and plant layout. The proposed production shop floor plan was designed using the SLP technique, and the performance of the proposed layout in terms of material travelling distance, travel time, and labour cost was compared to that of the existing layout. The measures included the layout's actual sizes, the activities between machines, the separation between machines, and the material travelling between machines in the plant. The total distance travelled by the material is reduced to 799ft. from 1227ft., production is doubled and ideal time is eliminated.
Key words: Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method / Plant Floor / Comprehensive Activity relationship chart / Existing Layout / proposed Layout
