In the present work, the layout design is an important task when a manufacturing system is constructed, or expanded.

If the facilities are arranged optimally, manufacturers can decrease work – in – process, material-handling costs, total production costs and significantly enhance a system’s efficiency.. There are varieties of selection and placement procedures in several construction layouts.

The detailed study of the plant layout such as operation process chart, flow of material and activity relationship chart has been investigated. The new plant layout has been designed and compared with the present plant layout.

The SLP method showed that new plant layout significantly decrease the distance of material flow from raw material storage to packing department.

The present layout and operation process of each section(i.e. material storage, cutting, machining shop, fabrication shop, assembly and inspection section and finish product storage) have been investigated.

Travel Chart Technique is applied to minimize wastes of time, manpower and money and to generate higher profits for the same work from the same resources.

The SLP method showed that new plant layout significantly decrease the distance of material flow from billet cutting process until keeping in ware house.

This research describes original plant layout, material flow analysis, which includes area and distance between operation A and B, through such a steel piston cylinder factory that was case study

According to the study of the manufacturing process, it was found that the long distance could be reduced for moving raw materials and the problem about useless area could be solved. The way to improve the plant was to apply SLP method to make the work flow continually by arranging the important sequence of the manufacturing.
