In a manufacturing industry, energy management offers both economic savings and significant emission reduction. Layout design, specifically through systematic layout planning (SLP) and lean tools, is employed for designing layout alternatives to save energy, as shown in a case study of a small size manufacturing plant.
Design and improvement of facility layouts is considered a major industrial problem as it affects so many aspects of business. Even in industrialized countries with a long manufacturing history, it is common to find facility layouts that lack optimized flows of materials and products.
This strategy can advance the factory layout design problem through the complementary cooperation of digital twin models, a core technology in Industry 4.0, as well as traditional linear optimization and simulation-based optimization with a discrete-event simulation environment.
This approach has been successful in identifying and overcoming both theoretical and empirical challenges in simulation-based optimization of facility layout design. The methodology was evaluated using functional resonance analysis method and industrial case studies, and it has proven to be effective for optimizing facility layouts.
The proposed framework proceeds sequentially and repeatedly in three steps: assembly line balancing, cell/buffer optimization, and layout planning. Using this sequence, it is possible easily and automatically to design the optimal factory layout without entrusting it to experts.
While lean manufacturing focuses on eliminating wastes such as motion, waiting time, overproduction, and inventory, facility layout is the arrangement of operations, machinery, and spaces and the correlation between them (Hales, 1984).
