Optimization in Manufacturing Plant Layout Design
Authors: Hosein Marzi, Elham Marzi
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present an optimized layout for production of microelectronic components. A manufacturing group revisits their production layout and plans an improved layout to avoid existing unanticipated difficulties that were revealed through analysis of the existing layout. The final proposal is a manufacturing layout, utilizing process cells to implement “just in time†technique, highlighting optimization of WIP and throughput time. The present design provides smooth and continuous flow of production for each product type, designing production cells and linking them with particular product types and allocating overheads on a more realistic basis.
