IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2011 Overall Layout Design of Iron and Steel Plants Based on SLP Theory Ermin Zhou, Kelou Chen, and Yanrong Zhang School of mechanical and electrical engineering, East china jiaotong University, Nanchang, China Abstract. Based on the total production process of iron and steel plant, and with the general design requirements for the major operating units, the major operating sites’ overall layout relationship of the iron and steel plant is deter- mined. Based on the production workshops, auxiliary plants, power plants, transportation facilities, the functions of departments, subsidiary production and living services departments within and outside association, the situation of materials into and out, systematic optimization layout planning is pro- posed. With the size and position relationship of the operating units, and other relative limiting condition and common practices, overall layout design of the factory is developed. Keywords: Systematic layout planning, SLP, Iron and steel plant, Overall layout. 1 Introduction Many steel companies in China are currently conducting or planning a new expansion of production base, for the internal and external logistics of steel plant are volume, and the status of a serious lack of iron ore, scientific selection of the steel plant site, rational distribution of the various operating units. To find the best spatial loca- tion of all facilities for the plant, the enterprises materials, equipment and human resources are efficiently used, improve the utilization of various resources, to make the most productive, to catch up with the trend of Chinas iron and steel enterprises development and to fulfill the requirements of a large number of imported iron ore and the special region development. 2 The Work Sites Overall Layout of Iron and Steel Plants 2.1
