Reorganizing dispatching layout to minimize dispatching time at apparel industry

Reorganizing a layout entails a massive adjustment to current layout and because of that reason, thorough planning in essential before a new layout implementation. This project is to reorganize current layout at dispatching area of a manufacturing industry which produces apparel products. Current ar...

This project is to reorganize current layout at dispatching area of a manufacturing industry which produces apparel products. Current arrangement at the dispatching area of the company shows an interrupted flow path of activities and scattered of queued cartons at some area of activities in the dispatching line which brought to other issues such as operator takes time to search due to no storage identification and classification. As for that, this project aims on to identify problem in current arrangement of dispatching department layout, then analyze the dispatching department layout problem using simulation and propose an alternative layout of dispatching department that reduces current dispatching time. The project methodology consists of three divisions namely, carrying out data collection, analyzing data and performing Witness simulation study and developing alternative arrangement. Based on the findings, total dispatching time of current layout consumes 30.77 minutes to complete one dispatching job with distance travel of 162.83 meters. Alternative is developed with three steps whereby first is arranging the layout according to sequence of activities. Then, determining space requirement and lastly conducting storage planning.
