<p>Skillingaryds stålrörsindustri AB handles different kinds of steel pipes and got their</p><p>market mainly in the furniture industry and in department stores. At the moment</p><p>the company find themselves in a strong up going course. In a few years the</p><p>company’s turnover has increased with over 10 million SEK. This has led to a</p><p>demand for structure changes and reorganizing through the company. The</p><p>development has forced the company to invest in new premises, which must be</p><p>adapted for the production and further expansion of the company.</p><p>This report describes how an analysis of the present layout has been made and</p><p>how effectivity and flow can be improved between machines, storage and personal.</p><p>By using the method Simplified systematic layout planning, three proposals have</p><p>been made. To give the clearest picture as possible of the layouts, all machines and</p><p>buildings were drawn in a 3D CAD-program called Solid Works. This will also</p><p>give the company resources to continue to work with the material in case of</p><p>another expansion.</p><p>Suggestion D scored the most points in the valuation and is considered to be the</p><p>best solution. It is based on a big central storage and a compact machine park. The</p><p>suggestion provides a smooth flow through the production line and short distances</p><p>between machines while having large spaces for storage and assembly.</p><p>During the course of this paper a few instances of superfluous transports, bad</p><p>storage handling and lack of order have been detected. Skillingaryds</p><p>stålrörsindustri AB is recommended to start working with 5S. Labelling of articles</p><p>is of importance when it comes to create order and standardization of areas to help</p><p>the personal to find the items they need.</p>
