    The objective of this project is to study plant layout of Pratap Re-Rollers and based on the systematic layout planning method, design a new layout for increased productivity and reduction in material handling. The detailed study of the plant layout such as operation process chart, flow of material and activity relationship chart has been investigated. The systematic layout planning method showed that new plant layout significantly decrease the distance of material flow from stores until usage spots. It is vitally important to have a well-developed plant layout for all the available resources in an optimum manner and get the maximum out of the capacity of the facilities. The problem is of particular importance for Small and Medium Enterprises such as Pratap Re-Rollers where major constraint such as cost and space play an important role.
