Systematic Layout Planning (SLP)
produces a well-planned facility that results in lower operating cost,
minimization of waste, lower worker fatigue and a healthier working
environment, resulting in higher productivity and profitability.
Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) is widely used in both the
manufacturing and service environment whenever there are:
， Companies setting up new facilities
， Expansion of the current facilities
， Re-arrangement of existing facilities
， Consolidation of current operations
， Relocation of operations and facilities
A good layout plan factors in both workspace and workplace design.
Work processes and material flow requirements are analysed for
activities such as storage, production, work-in-process, final
assembly, finished-goods packing and warehousing. The methodology
should not be confined only to within the four walls of the factory.
It should be extended to the site boundary as well, to take in to
account the movement and circulation of trucks and containers in the
compound. SLP should also factor in future changes in:
， Product mix
， Process improvement and equipment upgrading
， Organisation and personnel growth
， Workplace design
The concept is not confined to production set-ups. It can also be used
for laying out an office complex and used whenever a company moves to
a new office premises.
There are many established methodologies used by Industrial Engineers
in layout planning. The one adopted by TEIAN is based on the
Systematic Layout Planning developed by Richard Muther and John D
Wheeler. TEIAN have further adapted it to accommodate local conditions
in Singapore and the region.
