Abstract
The warehouse's facility layout arrangement can positively impact the company's performance, as indicated by the efficiency of material handling activities. On the other hand, a bad layout implies that the material flow is hampered, thus reducing performance. Therefore, analyzing and improving the facility's layout is important to produce effective and efficient operational activities. Company XYZ, which is engaged in processing refined sugar, needs help with the layout of its warehouse area, which impacts the inefficiency of warehousing activities. Accordingly, this research used the dedicated storage method to propose a warehouse layout through two scenarios. This research found that the proposed layout design for scenario 1 decreased travel distance by 41.497%. Meanwhile, scenario 2 reduced travel distance by 21.484% compared to the existing layout
