The production system can be classified in to 2 main production lines base on the shaping processes. The first one is traditional production line and the second one is called STROBEL production line. The main objective of this study is to reduce the traveling distance and time to transport raw materials and Work in Process (WIP) circulating in the factory. After several rounds of data collection, the research team analyze system layout by modifying the Simplified Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) technique to make it more suitable to the scope of the study and timeframe. From the analysis, the new layout design could help reduce the traveling distances for about 36% of that of the traditional method, and about 33.5% of that of the STROBEL method.
