Abstract

Whether the layout of the production workshop is reasonable or not is directly related to the production efficiency, logistics efficiency and production cost of the product, which is an important link that cannot be ignored in modern industrial production. Based on the theory of system layout planning (SLP), a comprehensive research and problem analysis on the current situation of the workshop layout of a chemical fertilizer production company was carried out, and the relevance of each working area and various materials in the workshop was obtained; then the logistics and non-logistics relationships of each working area in the workshop were analysed by using the derived data; the comprehensive relationship correlation diagrams of each working area and the location correlation diagrams of each working area were made; finally, the logistics relationship correlation diagrams and the location correlation diagrams of each working area were made; finally, the logistics relationship diagrams of each working area were made. Then, we analyse the logistics relationship and non-logistics relationship of each working area in the workshop by using the obtained data; we make the comprehensive relationship correlation diagram of each working area and the location correlation diagram of each working area in the workshop; finally, we re-plan and design the whole workshop based on the SLP method. After the optimisation of the workshop, the logistics intensity is effectively reduced, the logistics efficiency and production efficiency are improved, and the production process is smoother; at the same time, the new layout also improves the utilisation rate of the production area and reduces the production cost.
