Deskripsi/Abstrak

The aim of this research is to design a proposed layout for bread production facilities that can minimize the moving distance and material handling costs. The layout design method is the BLOCPLAN method. The BLOCPLAN method is a facility layout design method based on a hybrid algorithm and supported by the BLOCPLAN 90 . With this method, 20 alternative layouts are obtained, then the researcher chooses 3 layouts that had the greatest proximity value. Layout 13 produced a smaller total displacement distance and material handling costs, namely 56.40 meters at a cost of 489.62 rupiah, in one transfer of raw material . The initial layout of the bakery factory had a displacement distance of 68 meters and a material handling cost of 590.28 rupiah in one transfer of raw material. For this reason, layout 13 becomes a proposed layout for use by a bread production facility. In addition, the layout of the bread production facilities and production time can also be more efficient than before.
