Abstract

This research aimed to analyze plant layout options for the surface mount device (SMD) process. The research work applied the concept of the three algorithms, i.e., 1. systematic layout planning (SLP), 2. computerized relationship layout planning (CORELAP), and 3. automated layout design program (ALDEP). A total of 12 alternative factory layouts were created and compared in terms of the distance of moving parts per day. It was found that the factory layout type 1 by SLP had the lowest distance for moving parts per day. When comparing the factory layout before and after the improvement, it was found that the moving distance for the layout type 1 by SLP was reduced by 32.68%. The results from this research showed that the SLP and ALDEP techniques ranked first and second, with an average distance of 27,747 and 29,627 meters per day, respectively, in terms of effectiveness. The CORELAP technique seemed very inferior among all three techniques, with an average distance of 30,864 meters per day.
