| PT. Indonesia Polyurethane Industry is a manufacturing company which produced a variety of products with uncertain demand. All of the products are made of Polyurethane. This company plans to expand their production floor at the 1st floor to accommodate the machines at the 2nd floor. The reason for this expansion was because the operators have to go to the 2nd floor if they want to produce some small-sized products, which increases the material flow on the production floor. Furthermore, the ovens are located only at the first floor, causing the flow to increase even more. If all the machines are located at the same floor, the material flow they take will decrease, and so will the material flow. This research is done by grouping the machines according to their functions, which are machining and casting, thus can be referred to as process layout. Subsequently, the final layout design was proposed quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative approach uses ABSMODEL 3 algorithm, while qualitative approach uses CORELAP method. This final proposal also considers some other areas, which is Quality Control and finishing area including racks for finished products. These two approaches are compared in order to know which one generates the shortest distance, where the better result turned out to be the one using quantitative approach with the total distance of 80,67 m. |
