Abstract
The layout of production facilities has a very important impact and interrelationship between facilities with each other to support the smoothness of the production process.Frequently the biggest problems in the production system are caused by unsystematic handling of materials. This study, applies a genetic algorithm to obtain a facility layout design (machine) optimally. Inputs from this study include machine numbers, machine dimensions, machine sequences in each section, production volume in each section, and flow frequency in each section. The output of this study is the machine layout with a minimum total flow cost. This study solved the case in the rehab product production facility at PT Shima Prima Utama which consisting of 16 machines and 29 components. The results of the study in this case are that the optimal machine placement sequence is 13, 3, 9, 15, 6, 10, 2, 12, 8, 16, 7, 1, 11, 5, 14 and 4 with a total flow cost of 197,434.
