In order to meet the demands of company’s strategic planning and increased customer delivery quantity

the systematic layout planning (SLP) method was used to optimize the layout of tail cone production line. Firstly

the theory of systematic layout planning method was introduced

then the ramp up of tail cone production line was analyzed and calculated

including the calculation of production line balance ratio

identification of key bottleneck stations

and analysis of manning and key equipment required. Secondly

the position calculation and analysis of the jigs in tail cone production line were conducted by using the relationship chart

spatial relationship diagram to obtain various layout schemes of tail cone production line. Finally

according to the principles of lean production line layout

the above layout schemes were discussed and evaluated

then the optimum layout was determined by comprehensive evaluation.
