Abstract
Whether the workshop layout is reasonable has a significant impact on logistics efficiency, production costs, and production efficiency. This article takes the grain and oil processing workshop of Company J as the research object and conducts a field investigation of its grain and oil processing workshop using the SLP (System Layout Design) method. Based on the logistics volume of the production site and the correlation of each functional area, the correlation analysis is carried out from two aspects: logistics factors and non-logistics factors. The interrelationship diagram of the operation units in the workshop, the ranking of the comprehensive proximity of the operation units, and the location correlation diagram of the operation units were obtained, and the improvement plan was designed based on the principle of route optimization layout. Through the optimized design, transportation efficiency was enhanced, workshop area utilization was improved, production costs were reduced, and good social and economic benefits were created for the enterprise. It can also provide a reference for similar enterprises to carry out related work.
