DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF LAYOUT FOR A COMPANY OF CONCRETE ARTIFACTS

Abstract

A well-developed layout can positively contribute to the results of organizations, especially with regard to issues of increased productivity and optimization of physical space. Given this, this article has the general objective to develop the conceptual design of a layout in a Concrete Artifacts company, aiming at the best use of the manufacturing space. For this, tools and support techniques are used to complement the realization of this project. The project sequence is defined according to: Definition of Space Planning Units (UPE), Summary of UPE's, Diagram of Affinities between UPE's, Configuration Diagram, Layouts , Analysis of movements of people, materials and information for each proposed layout and Space Usage Diagram for the proposed layouts , in addition to the selection matrix of the layout proposals. As a result, 3 layout proposals are presented, which are evaluated using criteria such as movement of materials, suitability of the environment, cost and accessibility. Finally, one is selected for the continuation of the detailed layout design to be applied in the organization.
