Abstract
Due to increasing competition in the manufacturing sector of haberdashery and handicraft accessories, there is a great need for companies involved in this sector to invest relentlessly in expansion and improvement to meet up the dynamic and growing demand of the customer. Therefore, the worldwide leading manufacturer and supplier in this sector is thereby forced to analyze its material flow system, factory production layout, and production line. Aimed at improving the quality of their production and efficiency in meeting stochastic demand. The concept of improving material flow is majorly accepted as one of the core challenges facing the manufacturing ·sector in the future. Especially when it has to involve factory expansion and optimization, which. is a fundamental goal for the manufacturing industry. This study is conducted in collaboration with Prym Consumer (M) Sdn. Bhd. The objectives of this project are; To analyze different options of improved layout for the factory expansion then select the best factory layout suitable and efficient to run the manufacturing production thereby meeting stochastic demands and enhancing productivity using a systematic layout planning procedure and simulation-based approach. The proposed alternative factory layout will be developed using the Systematic Layout Procedure (SLP), then simulated and analyzed using the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation Software. By developing the various proposed option layout, the distance, total production time, and throughput of the production process are analyzed and improved in comparison with the existing layout and process. The result therefore of this project was very distinctive its outcome. Option 2 as one of the proposed alternative option layout was found to be more efficient to meet stochastic demands if implemented. Its forklift total distance travelled, total manufacturing and production time, and total throughput rate was more improved which will be able to tackle the problem of Prym Consumer (M) Sdn. Bhd in meeting stochastic demands than the existing and the other option 1 layout.
