Track: Facility Planning, Layout Design and Material handling

Abstract

Al Hikam Mart is a two-floored local retail store in Indonesia that provides relatively inexpensive daily necessities. Nowadays, the presence of retail stores is increasing, thereby tightening competition between retail stores. Therefore, Al Hikam Mart needs to improve the quality of its store layout planning so that customers get a better shopping experience. The study aims to assess current layout or facility arrangement of Al Hikam Mart, to tackle the problem encountered with the use of existing layout which had products that were placed a bit spread out. Identification of Al Hikam Mart’s problem was conducted by in-depth interviews with the owner and observation. Afterwards, analysis using systematic layout planning is done by implementing ARC, ARD, AAD. Finally, appropriate layout, facilities, and product arrangement for Al Hikam Mart is proposed to meet the optimization goals. Proposed layout for both the first and second floor are visualized in 2D and 3D using AutoCAD and SketchUp where similar and frequently sought-after products is brought together.
