Abstract
The facilities layout are among the most important of the most influential factors in the efficiency of the production system, and represents the systematic layout of the various work centers, tools, persons, and other auxiliary services within the factory. Careful selection of the technique that would be used in Re-layout, represents an important step in reaching to the optimum layout that keeps on reducing handling costs and reduce unnecessary movement of materials, as well as the regularity and functioning of the flow of materials through the facilities. The research aims to propose a new layout of (Al-M'ammon Factory / The General Company for Vegetable Oils Industry), and then re-layout according to the new propose layout by using of technique (CRAFT). ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ () بحث مستل .

The results proven that the new layout contributed to reducing the costs of material handling by (14,260) dinars / day, reducing material handling cost of approximately (22.6%) of the total handling cost for initial layout. As well as reduce (4,186) m / day, from the linear distance between work stations, reducing approximately (19.2%) of the total distance for initial layout. The research found a set of conclusions. The most important weakness of the efficiency of the initial factory layout, Which turn causes the wasting and losing of a lot of time and effort jacks and persons who transfer materials, and increasing the overall time of production, is produced in the loss of the factory because of high material handling costs between work centers. This research concluded with several recommendations, the most important work on the application of the new layout, which obtained from the application of technique (CRAFT) on propose layout.
