Planning the New Factory Layout of PT Hartekprima Listrindo using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) Method

Abstract

PT Hartekprima Listrindo is a manufacturer that produces silent, open and mobile/trailer types of diesel-powered generators, along with AMF/ATS panels and synchronous panels with the HARTECH brand. The generators produce eight Kva power variants up to 3000 Kva power. PT Hartekprima Listrindo plans to increase the production capacity by relocating its factories to a new place. The production capacity of the new plant is planned to achieve 20 generators/year in a 5184 m2 total land area of production. This relocation design uses Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method, and the layout design is simulated. The SLP method is carried out by describing material flow in the production process using a Multi-Product Process Chart (MPPC), and then continued by using Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) which illustrates the relationship among the activities of the departments. The next stage of layout design is describing the Activity Relationship Diagram (ARD) and Area Allocation Diagram (AAD). The comparison layout design resulted in 2 alternative layouts that are better than the initial layout. The chosen layout design is alternative design 1 because it reduces transportation time and increases movement efficiency.
