Proposed Improvement of Facility Layout to Optimize Material Handling Costs with ARC, AAD, ARD Approach at PT. Plating Services
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 02
Abstract
In the industrial world, the planning and layout of factory facilities is very important in realizing efficiency and smoothness in work. Improper layout can make material transfer time ineffective because the distance between stations is too far. PT. Plating services located in Cikarang have poor layout design and facilities where the distance of material handling from the incoming area to the production area and the temporary finish good area to the shipping area is too far to cause the value of Material Handling Costs (OMH) to be expensive. To reduce the value of OMH in the company, research activities were carried out with the approach of Activity Relationship Chart (ARC), Area Allocation Diagram (AAD) and Activity Relationship Diagram (ARD). The results showed that the long distance of material handling and carried out by 2 workers using hand pallet tools caused the cost of OMH to be expensive at Rp 11,647,584.-/month. Therefore, the researcher made a layout proposal to facilitate the movement of raw materials by adding Karakuri Conveyor facilities in the incoming area to production and quality control area to the shipping area. This can reduce the OMH value by 50.6%. Thus, PT. Plating services can improve the efficiency of the production process and optimize the survival or success of work in the long run.
