ABSTRACT
The redesign of this layout aims to provide information on improvements to the material storage space (warehouse) at PT.
Andalan Fluid System (PT. AFS), can be more effective and efficient both from the outside, material handling costs, and workers.
The condition of placement of irregular / unregulated material makes the condition ineffective and dangerous, material handling
costs become larger and difficult to measure due to searching time and longer, there is also no clear identity on the material or
storage location. The data used, the measurement of the area directly storing the data and looking for supporting data from the
area owner, the method used in making the Re-layout is the area allocation diagram (AAD) by first calculating material handling
costs (OMH) and making tables from the chart (FTC) and priority scale table (TSP). From the results of the research and analysis
of the initial (existing) layout the company requires material handling costs of Rp. 65,431,026,54 with a number of matrices of
580 Pcs, and the weight of 23,457, 57 Kg, while the results obtained from the layout of 1 material handling costs became Rp.
40,242,822.12 -, in the strategic layout 2 the cost of material handling was Rp. 42. 578,302.60-, but in a better and more optimal
layout of space, from a better safety factor than the initial conditions.

Key Words: Re-layout, Area Alocation Diagram, Material Handling Cost.

1. INTRODUCTION
The strategy of implementing layout and facility design can be used to get consumers and maximum benefits, where companies
can minimize costs, marketing effectiveness, speed of production processes, production accuracy, to increase company image. The
implementation of these strategies must be supported by the handling of raw materials, the process of handling finished goods so
that the product quality is maintained until it is used by consumers.
Handling of goods cannot be separated from the initial to the end of the production system before the distribution / delivery of
customers. In the process of handling this item can not be separated from the layout of factory facilities. A good layout is a layout
that is able to utilize space for processes effectively in order to increase space utility and minimize material handling costs
(Heragu, 1997). Lack of utilization of space and storage that is less effective will cause many products or raw materials that are
not accommodated in the warehouse and the cost of high material handling. The design of warehouse facilities must regulate how
assets in the form of objects can achieve the objectives or functions of these assets. in the industrial manufacturing facility
planning determines how production facilities can support well in the production process (Tompkins, 1996).
The design of facility layout is one of the important factors in the preparation of the physical elements of the plant and also
services such as warehousing, post offices, shops, restaurants and hospitals (Apple, 1990). The importance of the plant layout will
be more visible when linked to activities that take place in the company. One of them is in the process of storing and handling

material in the warehouse, where one of the problems in it is the convenience factor for the retrieval and storage of material
(performance aspects) as well as the safety or worker safety (safety aspects) factors. With the implementation of a good factory
layout, it will be able to reduce the time needed in a material handling and the energy that must be expended by workers, and the
safety of workers is even better.
An effective layout can help organizations achieve a strategy that supports differentiation, low cost or rapid response (Heizer and
Render, 2006). Layout design in general aims so that companies can make work arrangements, available space, equipment or
facilities used so that all kinds of existing flow in the company in the form of information and materials can run effectively and
efficiently (Irmayani Hasan, 2011). This research was conducted to propose a good layout of material storage (warehouse), so as
to reduce the risk of workplace accidents, optimize existing space, reduce material handling costs and facilitate material handling
handling, so that it can provide added value to the company.
The research objective is to find out the initial conditions of material storage space layout, determine the layout of the proposed
facilities in order to optimize the available space, so as to provide efficiency from the changes made, and optimize the space and
minimize potential hazards during material handling processes.

2. RESEARCH METHOD
Data Collection Method, Observation is a method of data by direct observation and systematic recording of the object to be
studied. This observation is done by observing and measuring directly on the object. Interview (interview) is a form of research
conducted by interviewing parties who have knowledge and about the object under study. Documentation, including photos of
research implementation activities.
Data Analysis Method, Data analysis in this study was carried out descriptively, namely classifying data into two groups, namely
qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data expressed in the form of words or symbols of quantitative data are data in the
form of numbers (Suharsimi, 2006).
The analytical method used in analyzing the data obtained using the Data Allocation Allocation Method, but to make it happen.
1. Performing preliminary data (list of raw materials, initial layout).
2. Calculating the starting and destination material handling costs (OMH), to determine the distance of transportation by the
formula:
Total OMH (Cij) = Ca x Cij x Fij, where:
Cij = Material Handling Fee
Ca = Cost of transit unit / distance / weight unit
Cij = Distance of departmental activities i to j
Fij = Transmission frequency from i to j
3. Creating front to chart (FTC) tables and priority scale tables (TSP Tables) based on data materials and initial material handling
costs that will be adjusted according to the planned placement of materials on the stand. Picture of Initial Warehouse Conditions.
The picture below shows the initial condition of the warehouse that is still not optimal both in terms of layout and in terms of
distance

3. RESULTS

Layout of storage material (Warehouse) PT. AFS Taxi. Makassar, there are some disturbances in the complete layout:
1. Storage space is not well organized, material storage is irregular.
2. Potential causes danger when material handling power because the distance between material coincides and is not neat, human
power / operator must step on the existing material to be able to remove the material to be used.
3. Material handling costs are difficult to measure, and the efficiency of difficult time results because when taking the material
must check the dimensions first.

Proposed Layout 2.
In principle, the proposal layout 2 is almost the same as the proposed layout 1, except that there is a change and addition of
equipment in the form of bandsaw / saw machine, the purpose of which is to simplify and speed up the cutting process of the
material, in addition to keeping the machine more controlled for its use. because at this time the machine is still free to be used by
the operator without the hassle of using it, so that the saw blade will be quickly damaged, even the machine will also be damaged
quickly. Following Layout proposal 2.

4. DISCUSSION
From the results of field observations and data processing can be analyzed and discussed about the data and facts which are as
follows:
1. Initial / existing layout design.
Based on observations and facts obtained in the field and proven by data processing, it can be said that the arrangement of the
material warehouse is less planned and organized, both in terms of space efficiency, time, safety, and material handling costs. This
is also evidenced by photographs from the results of field observations that the condition is worsened by the storage of material
and others who seem to store origin, no base / valet, no identity or other information about the dimensions of material and others.
To do material handling in the warehouse there are only two alternatives, namely with human power and by using an over head
crane. As a reference in calculating material handling costs the hauling distance in the initial calculation is equal to 3.87 M, from
the calculation of omh as presented, the material handling costs needed to move the consignment stock material and Makassar
stock from the warehouse to the access point warehouse is Rp. 65,431,026,54, - whereas for materials that have been used both
consignment stock and Makassar stock are Rp. 32,629,720,24-.
2. Layout of proposal 1.
To deal with and improve the condition of the warehouse, the proposed relayout is expected to provide space efficiency, cost, time
and safety. Based on the results of observations and interviews with the area owner, and the results of calculations that have been

International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), Vol 4 (11), November - 2018

done as stated in table 8, material handling costs are based on proposal layout 1, for the transfer of consignment stock material and
Makassar stock to the warehouse access door point is Rp. 40,242,822.12, - whereas for materials that have been used if done with
the proposed layout 1 condition, the material handling costs will be Rp. 20,387,824.08, -.
In this layout proposal, there is additional equipment in the form of 1 stand tube unit, 2 units of shelves and 1 unit of stand gas,
this is needed so that there is room efficiency so that it can accommodate more material (figure 5). Then to make it easier
in the retrieval of material, painting is done on one side of the material and then given the dimensions of the material, designation
and others (figure 4). For layout 1, the method used is AAD, by describing the actual conditions or dimensions (Figure 5).

Figure. 5. Tube Stand and Proposed Rack

The proposed layout 1 has now begun to run, but the condition has only reached 70%, there are 2 equipment that are still on process, namely 1
unit of material shelves and 1 unit of gas cylinder safety stand.

3. Layout Proposal 2.
In principle, proposal layout 2 is the same as proposal layout 1, but the difference is that there are 1 additional bandsaw unit into the material
warehouse area, this is because there is planning for development and expansion in the production line, on the other hand the area owner feels
that the bands are too far away when going cutting material, too often damage to saw blades due to bandsaw being used by anyone, so it is
quickly damaged and less efficient.
Based on Figure 3. the results of the calculation of material handling costs as stated in table 7, material handling costs in the proposed layout 2
for the transfer of stock material from the warehouse to the access point for both consignment material and Makassar stock if this layout is
applied to Rp. 42,578,302.64 - while for material that has been used the cost is material handling to Rp. 21,435,182.14.
To see and compare which is more effective and efficient, from the three existing layout designs, the following is based on the calculation of
omh that has been done.

5. CONCLUSIONS
1. Initial conditions of material storage space (warehouse) PT. Andalan Fluid Makassar branch system, Based on observations and
facts obtained in the field and proven by data processing, it can be said that the material warehouse arrangement is not well
planned and organized, both in terms of space efficiency, time, safety, and material handling costs, conditions it is also
exacerbated by treatment and handling that is not optimal. Material handling costs for these initial conditions are also quite high
with a calculation of the same distance of 3.87 meters, the cost of which reaches Rp. 65,431,026,54- with the total quantity of 580
Pcs of Materials with a weight of 23,457.57 kg.

2. To provide solutions to these problems, in this study 2 proposed layouts were given where each of these proposals had their
respective advantages as listed in table 4.25. in value based on the calculation of the cost of material handling layout proposal 1,
the cost will be Rp. 40,242,82212 - or its efficiency reaches 38.5% with a range of transport distance. For the proposed layout 2
the value of material handling costs is Rp. 42,578,302.60 or the efficiency reached 34.9%, but according to proposal 2 this space
efficiency became more maximal, and cost / efficiency cost savings in the future will be greater.

3. With the layout 1 proposal and layout 2 proposal, the room efficiency is much better and more maximal compared to the initial
/ existing layout, as well as the potential danger / safety of the operator, facilities or the other becomes more safety, this is because
people can traffic when material handling becomes safer because there is no material scattered below, and there is already a
distance between the stands / shelves. The maintenance process will also be easier.

4. In terms of search time even though it is not discussed and carried out by research but it is certain that it will save more time,
this is due to one side of the material facing outwards that has been marked and sized to make it easier to retrieve the material,
because the operator or replace it can easily search without having to measure or check one by one.
