Warehouse Layout Designing of Slab Using Dedicated Storage and Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract: Warehouse is a supporting facility and has the important role in the production system. Goods warehouse arrangement is an activity based on related/rationale reason. There are several policies in random storage, fixed or dedicated storage, and class-based storage. We conducted this study in XYZ Company which the main business is producing steel. In this research, dedicated storage and particle swarm optimization will be used in the layout design of slab raw material warehouse to obtain the best layout to minimize material handling cost. Based on the result of the research, particle swarm optimization method gives the best layout result with the least material handling cost compared to the existing layout and layout using dedicated storage method.

Layout design photolithographic technology friendliness detection method

Abstract: The invention discloses a layout design photolithographic technology friendliness detection method which comprises the steps of filtering original target graphic data in advance to determine a latent technology hot spot region, converting the graphic data of the latent technology hot spot region into photolithographic target graphic data, then performing simplified optical proximity correction and graphic simulation on the photolithographic target graphic data to preliminarily investigate technology hot spots, and performing precise and complete optical proximity correction and precise and complete graphic simulation according to a technology hot spot preliminary investigation labeled position and graphic data of necessary surrounding positions to execute final check on the technology hot spots. Therefore, on the premise that the technology hot spots are precisely found, the software calculation time and the software use time are shortened in the whole process, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

Layout design for efficiency improvement and cost reduction

Abstract: In a reality of global competition, companies have to minimize production costs and increase productivity in order to boost competitiveness. Facility layout design is one of the most important and frequently used efficiency improvement methods for reducing operational costs in a significant manner. Facility layout design deals with optimum location of facilities (workstation, machine, etc.) on the shop floor and optimum material flow between these objects. In this article, the objectives and procedure of layout design along with the calculation method for layout optimization are all introduced. The study is practice-oriented because the described case study shows how the layout of an assembly plant can be modified to form an ideal re-layout. The research is novel and innovative because the facility layout design and 4 lean methods (takt-time design, line balance, cellular design and one-piece flow) are all combined in order to improve efficiency more significantly, reduce costs and improve more key performance indicators. From the case study it can be concluded that the layout redesign and lean methods resulted in significant reduction of the following seven indicators: amount of total workflow, material handling cost, total travel distance of goods, space used for assembly, number of workers, labor cost of workers and the number of Kanban stops.
