Abstract

The facility layout problem is one of the design problems involving the assignment of facilities (e.g., machines, departments) to planar region (e.g., a plant) so as to achieve the objectives such as to minimize the cost of projected interaction between facilities or to maximize the closeness rating, etc. Layout has a significant role on the efficiency of manufacturing systems. This research use Cellular Manufacturing System to solve the layout design problem. Selection of this method because Cellular Manufacturing is an flexible alternative solution for complex and automated manufacture tools. Component movement and total distance can be reduced. Cellular manufacturing system have a philosophy that similar component identified and grouped to take advantage from similarity. By study result, manufacture cell grouping reduce total distance from 411.51 m to 335.14 m.
