Implementation of systematic plant layout (SPL) at Hitesh Mechanical Pvt. Ltd.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the Plant layout of Hitesh Mechanical Pvt Ltd., New Mumbai using on SPL (Systematic Plant Layout) technique to improve the inventory management system for raw materials, scrap management and process planning for different operation on the work floor. Aim of this study is to improve the productivity by minimizing the idle time. Firstly, the problem in terms of storage, material flow is identified. In this paper the initial layout and the alternative layout is being designed based on the SPL methods, Activity relationship charts, From-to chart and algorithms like CRAFT, CORELAP. The SPL method help us to find the solution and increase the productivity and the storage capacity of the plant.
