Research on Facility Layout Optimization of Food Warehouse Based on SLP Method and Flexsim Simulation

With the rapid development of the social economy, food enterprises face dual challenges of ensuring food safety and controlling costs, where warehouse layout has become core to enhancing production-sales adaptability and reducing operational costs. Taking Changde Taiwei Sauce Duck Factory as a case study, this research uses the SLP method to analyze its warehouse layout and identifies issues such as unreasonable functional zone planning, improper personnel allocation, and low operational efficiency. By building a model with Flexsim and simulating 7-day operation data, the optimization achieves a 12.8% reduction in labor costs and a 23.5% improvement in handling efficiency. Comparative simulation data validate the effectiveness of the optimization scheme in enhancing warehousing efficiency and space utilization. In practical application, this design reduces labor costs, achieves rational layout of personnel and equipment, and significantly improves overall operational efficiency.
