Perancangan Tata Letak Fasilitas UMKM XYZ dengan Metode ALDEP (Automated Layout Design Program)

Abstract

Perancangan tata letak fasilitas merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam meningkatkan efisiensi operasional, khususnya pada usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) yang memiliki keterbatasan ruang dan sumber daya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kondisi tata letak fasilitas produksi pada UMKM Seblak Prasmanan Madit serta merancang ulang tata letak yang lebih optimal menggunakan metode Automated Layout Design Program(ALDEP). Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi langsung, wawancara dengan pekerja, serta dokumentasi untuk memperoleh informasi mengenai luas area, aliran proses produksi, dan hubungan antar aktivitas. Analisis hubungan aktivitas dilakukan menggunakan Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) dan Activity Relationship Diagram (ARD) untuk menentukan tingkat kedekatan antar stasiun kerja. Selanjutnya, perancangan tata letak dilakukan dengan menggunakan ALDEP untuk menghasilkan beberapa alternatif layout berdasarkan nilai kedekatan tersebut. Hasil layout kemudian divisualisasikan dalam bentuk Area Allocating Diagram (AAD) dan dikembangkan menjadi layout 2D menggunakan AutoCAD. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tata letak usulan mampu meningkatkan efisiensi aliran material, mengurangi potensi backtracking, serta mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan ruang dibandingkan dengan kondisi eksisting.

Facility layout design is an important aspect in improving operational efficiency, especially for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that face limitations in space and resources. This study aims to analyze the existing facility layout of Seblak Prasmanan Madit MSME and redesign a more optimal layout using the Automated Layout Design Program(ALDEP) method. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with workers, and documentation to obtain information related to area size, production flow, and relationships between activities. The analysis of activity relationships was conducted using the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Activity Relationship Diagram (ARD) to determine the closeness level among workstations. Furthermore, the facility layout was developed using ALDEP to generate several alternative layouts based on the closeness ratings. The selected layouts were then visualized using an Area Allocating Diagram (AAD) and further developed into a 2D layout using AutoCAD. The results indicate that the proposed layout improves material flow efficiency, reduces backtracking, and optimizes space utilization compared to the existing layout. However, further adjustments are required to ensure compatibility with real operational conditions. Therefore, the integration of analytical methods and practical evaluation is essential to achieve an effective and applicable facility layout design.
