Abstract:

This paper deals with the development of cellular layout at a printing press that prints customized calendars, magazines, leaflets, brochures, and diaries in medium and large batch sizes. The basic objective for modifying the existing layout into a cellular layout was to eliminate backtracking of material, minimizing work-in-process inventory, minimize transportation and material handling costs, and optimally utilize the available space. A combination of tools and techniques such as Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), Method Study, and Production Flow Analysis & Multicriteria Decision Making tools are employed to effect modifications in the existing layout and evaluate the improvements therein.
