Abstract (eng): The purpose of this thesis is to improve the layout and material flows at an UPS manufacturing plant.

Theory about layout planning, lean manufacturing and other relevant areas will be presented and used as a basis for the layout project that was conducted in practice at the case plant.
During the layout project issues regarding e.g. lack of floor space and material flow were tackled.
The outcome of the layout project will be compared to the situation in the beginning by comparing e.g. transportation costs within the plant.

At the beginning of 2008 the case plant was suffering from lack of floor space and the material flow was affected by this severely.
At the same time a new assembly line was about to be constructed and the location for this needed to be allocated.
During the layout project the re-arrangement of the assembly lines and other functions was made to improve the situation at the plant.

The results of this thesis are an improved plant layout and improved material flows between the assembly lines and other departments.
As the need for layout changes and material flow improvements will be eminent also in the future of the case company, the layout project will remain as a continuous improvement process at the plant.
Abstract (fin): Tämän diplomityön tarkoitus on parantaa tehtaan layoutia ja materiaalivirtoja tuotantoprosesseissa.

Teoriaa layout suunnittelusta, lean tuotannosta ja muista asiaankuuluvista aihealueista esitellään työn alussa.
Tätä teoriaa käytetään pohjana layout projektin toteuttamisessa tehtaalla.
Projektin aikana käsiteltiin ongelmia muun muassa tilanpuutteesta ja huonoista materiaalivirroista.
Layout projektin lopputulosta verrataan alkuasetelmaan vertaamalla esimerkiksi materiaalin käsittelykuluja projektin alussa ja lopussa.

Vuoden 2008 alussa tehtaalla karsittiin tilan puutteesta ja myös materiaalivirrat häiriintyivät tästä.
Samaan aikaan oltiin myös rakentamassa uutta tuotantolinjaa ja tälle piti vapauttaa sopiva paikka tuotannon lattialta.
Layout projektin aikana suoritettiin tuotantolinjojen ja muiden osastojen siirtoja parantaakseen tilannetta tehtaalla.

Layout projektin lopputulos on tuotannon osalta parempi layout ja myös paremmat materiaalivirrat tuotantolinjojen sekä muiden osastojen välillä.
Layout muutoksia ja materiaalivirtojen parantamista tullaan tarvitsemaan myös tulevaisuudessa ja layout projekti tulee näin ollen toimimaan myös jatkossa jatkuvana parannusprosessina tehtaalla.
