dc.description.abstract Warehouse layout is a classical production problem in engineering environment. Warehouse design often has a significant impact on the performance of a manufacturing plant. In modifying the warehouse floor layout, main issue that needs to be concerned is the impact on system performance due to the changes made. Improvements in terms of time delays, frequency of material flows and efficiency of line will contribute to the reduction of production cost. Neither an algorithmic nor a procedural layout design approach is usually an effective way in solving a practical layout problem. This paper applied the simple procedural methodology for the generation of suggested system, namely Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) approach. This approach analyses the layout problems through the usage of easy understanding analytical tools. The suggested system focuses on the redesigning of the workstations for more visible value adding workstation arrangement in the warehouse. The system was evaluated through the line balancing issue and space distribution. Changing material handling equipment and space arrangement of all the equipment directly improves of flow within the warehouse. Implementation of a new layout is a time consuming process and a big investment is required for making the changes. Even no practical analysis is possible for observing the improvement(s) made, hence the improvement was proved through a heuristic way in this project en_US
