A study on facility layout helps to improve the existence facility layout. The efficiency of production depends on the number of production line, workers and machines available in the factory. This study is about the facility layout in Keropok Lekor 's factory, Zazihan Enterprise. All the existing layout in the factory is based on the owner's experience in the keropok lekor 's production process. The owner planned to modify the layout of the factory in order to facilitate the production process and also want to expand their market into the supermarket and hypermarket in the southern regions. To fulfil the market demand, this factory is looking forward to improve the existing efficiency in the production by space utilization and efficiency.
