The main manufacturing system focused in this thesis is the factory layout. Poor layout design is determine as a major problem contribution in small scale factory. It will affect the productivity and also line efficiency. Through the study aim is to propose new layout to the factory to improve the productivity and reduce the waste to get more profit so that they can survive even facing competition from bigger factory. This study starts with selection of a suitable factory to be the case study target. After that, visit the factory and identify the problems that occur in the factory layout that affect the productivity of the factory. Get all the data needed and redesign the factory layout to improve productivity of the factory. Simulate the layout using computer aided tools to know the effectiveness of the new layout design.

Productivity and line efficiency of the layout is get from the result to know the performance of the layout.
