Abstract:
This study aims to obtain an optimal facility layout by considering the distance between the workstations,
transfer time, and material handling cost in a bakery. The research was conducted at a medium-scale bread producer
CV Mumtaz Bakery in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan. The initial layout of CV Mumtaz Bakery's production
facilities is considered as not optimal for production capacity up to 500 kg per day. The layout analysis and the
appearance of improvement alternatives were carried out using the BLOCPLAN algorithm, and then the design
implementation was carried out using CorelDraw software. Determination of the best layout alternative is based on
the highest R-Score. The results showed that the best layout was the one with an R-Score of 0.86. This selected
workstation layout has a total distance between processing stations of 31.70 m, a total transfer time of 25 seconds,
and a material handling cost of IDR 434.29 for each batch. This layout will reduce the total material transfer distance
and the material transfer time from the initial layout by 14.67% and 10.7% respectively.
