SLP-Based Layout Design for a Reclaimed Rubber Factory

In this paper, a layout is designed for reclaimed rubber factory by applying systematic layout planning (SLP) method. Considering the enterprise current situation and future development plan, the relation graph for all workshops in the company is obtained by analyzing material and non- material flows, and two feasible layout plans are put forward. Applying the comparative law of equivalent flow capacity, these two plans are compared, and then the final objective and optimal design is obtained. With this layout redesign, the logistics operational efficiency is improved, and the production system is optimized.
