Design and Optimization of Production Line Layout Using Material Flows

Abstract

Businesses are constantly trying to improve their production by looking for bottlenecks to improve their market position. The introduction and innovation of automated production lines is necessary for both labor shortages and productivity and quality reasons. A combination of precision, fluidity, and speed, that is the basic definition of a production line. With the advent of new technologies, production lines have also begun to continuously speed up and innovate. Innovation is the subject of this paper, where the problem of designing a completely new layout for a new production line in the food industry has been addressed. The aim of this paper was to create a design for the optimal layout of the production line in preselected production areas. Optimal use of the space allocated for production is very important for every company today.

Improving Material Flows in an Industrial Enterprise: A Comprehensive Case Study Analysis

“…The study employed graphic-analytical analysis methods, investment and economic assessments, capacity calculations, and considerations of building energy efficiency to propose optimal layouts and workflows. Additionally, the study highlighted the significance of precision manufacturing and machinery in optimizing production lines for enhanced efficiency and accuracy [27].…”

“…The study by Bučko et al [27] focused on improving material flow within industrial enterprises as a means to enhance productivity, streamline production processes, and maintain competitiveness in the global market. They emphasized the importance of optimizing production layouts and workflows to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce costs.…”
