“…Site layout planning is an essential task of construction site management; one of the main causes of project failure is poor site layout planning practices (Mawdesley et al, 2002;Vashishtha, 2022). On the contrary, careful planning of the site layout, including the proper placement of temporary facilities, can help project managers to achieve significant gains in the form of increased productivity, decreased travel times, and better working conditions (Fadhlan et al, 2020;Tsegay et al, 2023a;Vashishtha, 2022). According to Skejlbred et al (2015), proper site layout planning, simultaneously considering logistics and resource allocation, must be implemented for an effective project performance.…”

“…Safety and security considerations are another important criterion in site layout planning (Abdel-Fattah, 2013;Adhika and Nurcahyo, 2017;Kumar and Bansal, 2015;Sanad et al, 2008;Tsegay et al, 2023a). Irregularities in the arrangement of site layouts can affect site safety and security for workers and the public.…”

“…Construction site layout planning is one of the most crucial tasks that affect project success (Fadhlan et al, 2020;Su, 2013). It can influence project cost, duration, productivity, safety, quality, and conflicts (Dio and Frenky, 2022;Kumar and Bansal, 2015;Sadeghpour et al, 2006;Tsegay et al, 2023a). However, construction site layout planning practices, especially in Indonesia, are still rarely studied.…”

“…Construction projects are labor-intensive, so construction sites are prone to becoming a source of delays and conflicts if not properly managed. Researchers have recognized site layout as one of the main factors affecting construction project performance (Liang et al, 2018;Su et al, 2012;Zolfagarian and Irizarry, 2014;Tsegay et al, 2023a). Therefore, proper management is necessary to prepare a site for construction activities, as well as to prevent and overcome potential delays and ensure compliance with project occupational safety and health (OSH).…”

“…Although there is a lot of published literature that examines site layout planning problems, most works consider data fabricated using simulations and mathematical models (Alavi and Rizk, 2017;Binhomaid, 2019;El-Rayes and Said, 2009;Fadhlan et al, 2020;Hammad et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2021;Pradana, 2021;Sanad et al, 2008;Su et al, 2012;Tsegay et al, 2023a). A model (simulation or optimization) for construction site layout planning must comply with the rules used to create it.…”

Proper layout planning is necessary to prepare a site for construction activities, prevent potential delays, and ensure project safety and security. Despite the considerable amount of studies regarding construction site layout planning, most research has relied on fabricated data using simulations, while, in fact, site layout is unique for each construction project, and its planning requires previous experience. This paper presents an in-depth study on site layout planning practices, as observed in four actual project cases. Using an empirical case study approach, these practices are collected through site observations, document examinations, and semi-structured interviews. Several discussions related to site layout planning practices are described, including the considerations, types, tasks and benefits related to proper site layout planning. The contribution of this paper is the ability to capture some lessons learned regarding construction site layout planning from actual project cases, which can be utilized by other parties for the benefit of future projects. The lessons learned allow developing appropriate strategies required by construction project teams in order to increase their response capability and hence be able to proactively make decisions regarding proper site layout planning.

This research was conducted on the layout of copra processing facilities. Copra is one of the products to be produced by the Small and Medium Industry Center in the Meranti Islands. The purpose of designing the layout of this copra factory facility is to provide a proposal in the form of a copra processing facility layout with the shortest material handling distance. The methods used in this study are Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Arena Simulation. The result of the SLP method is in the form of alternative layout proposals, which will be checked with a simulation model. This Arena simulation is carried out to see whether the production process of the resulting layout is good or not by implementing it into a conceptual model in the Arena software, which is then tested to see the disruptions that exist in the production process, such as the accumulation of raw materials at one of the stations (bottleneck). Based on data processing results, one alternative layout was selected with a material handling distance of 26.33 m from 3 existing alternatives. This selection is based on the smallest material handling distance obtained. Furthermore, testing the layout with the Arena software simulation model found that there was a disruption in the production process in the form of a buildup of raw materials at the smoking and drying station caused by the manual drying process using the scorching heat of the sun so that it takes 4-5 days for the drying process.
