Modernization of facility layout design in earthenware craft industry with green productivity approach

Abstract

Entering the Industrial Revolution 4.0 as of now there are still many earthenware craft industries that are traditional, both in terms of equipment and materials, procedures for making, and layout of facilities. Layout facility is one of many factors to determining factors of level of productivity workers. If arranged more modern, then the work operation becomes more effective and efficient so that the productivity of the industry will increase. The purpose of this research is redesign the layout of the earthenware craft industry facilities which are modern and having good work environment, improve the work quality of the workers, and increase the profitability of the earthenware craft industry itself. The stage of this research starts from determining the alternative layout of the best facilities, analyzing the layout of the facility using the 5S Method, and analyzing the productivity of the facility layout with the concept of Green Productivity. The results achieved from this research are the best facility layout found in alternative 1, where percentage reduction in path length reached 40% of initial layout. 5S analysis results have a positive impact for time of production process earthenware by reduction in processing time is 42,75% and the electricity savings reduce electricity costs 55,02%. Rate of productivity in this earthenware craft industry has increased by 2.31%.
