Technical feasibility for a service company through the systematic planning method for plant distribution (SLP)

Abstract

The SLP method (Systematic Layout Planning), is an organized technique for planning a distribution, made up of four phases, in a series of procedures to identify, evaluate and visualize the elements and areas to be distributed. The following case study proposes a new installation of Mathfer Services based on the SLP methodology for the optimization of resources with an efficient and safe handling of electrical materials, considering the dimensions and characteristics of the projects, through macrolocation and microlocation, the selection of equipment for handling raw materials and electrical supplies, the analysis and representation of the interaction of activities, the determination of spaces and general distribution, ending with the design and detailed presentation of the new installation of Mathfer Services through AutoCAD software and the presentation of the renderings of the modeling of the installation in the SketchUp software. Emphasizing that the design of an installation is not exclusive to the manufacturing industry, it is applicable to all types of spaces, as in this case, services.
