Keywords:
CORELAP, Layout Optimization, Production Efficiency , Waste ManagementAbstract
Purpose: This study explores the effectiveness of the Computerized Relationship Layout Planning (CORELAP) method in optimizing the layout of plastic waste processing production facilities at PT KIMA.
Subjects and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving a pre-test and post-test assessment of key performance metrics such as material transfer distances, production time, efficiency, and equipment downtime.
Results: The results demonstrated significant improvements in operational efficiency for the experimental group using CORELAP, with material transfer distances reduced by 31.75%, production time decreased by 30%, and equipment downtime lowered by 13.8%. In comparison, the control group, which followed traditional layout practices, showed minimal improvements. These findings highlight the potential of the CORELAP method to enhance workflow efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve overall productivity in industrial settings.
Conclusions: The study underscores the importance of modern layout optimization techniques in achieving both immediate and long-term operational gains, especially in resource-intensive industries such as waste management and recycling.
