Optimizing plant layout for enhanced operational efficiency
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Efficient plant layout design is crucial for minimizing operational costs, reducing material handling time, and enhancing overall productivity. This study focuses on optimizing the existing plant layout to improve workflow efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and maximize space utilization. This research work analyzes the current material flow, workstation arrangement, and operational inefficiencies. The proposed layout redesign aims to minimize unnecessary movement, streamline production processes, and enhance worker ergonomics. Through simulation and cost-benefit analysis, the study demonstrates potential improvements in throughput, reduced lead times, and lower operational expenses. The findings highlight the importance of a well-structured plant layout in achieving operational excellence and sustainable manufacturing performance.
