In the industrial hub of Manaus in many cases it is either new installations or rearrangements of deactivated line spaces. This paper aims to show the importance of Layout study as well as its tools for process improvements and productivity increase. The methodology adopted is based on bibliographic and documentary research (internal corporate documentation) using the method SLP (systematic planning of Layout) that seeks the best configuration between: man, machine and equipment.
