This study aims to improve the effectiveness of facility arrangement at Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana by analyzing interactions among production activities and designing spatial layouts based on their priority levels. The current layout presents several critical issues, particularly because the equipment sanitation area is combined with the toilet, creating a significant risk of contamination and reducing hygiene during production. In addition, irregular material flow and excessive worker movement lead to inefficient work processes and may affect the quality of the final product. To address these issues, this study employs the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) to evaluate the functional closeness among production areas, as well as the Total Closeness Rating (TCR) to determine facility placement priorities based on the intensity of inter-stage relationships. The results of the ARC analysis indicate that the fermentation room has the strongest link to the main stages of oncom production, requiring its placement to be closer to the preparation and molding areas. Findings from the TCR further emphasize that fermentation should become the primary focus in the layout redesign. Based on both methods, a more organized layout design is proposed by relocating the fermentation room to the beginning of the production flow, separating the toilet and sanitation room into two distinct areas, and restructuring the storage, molding, and drying spaces. This redesigned layout is expected to enhance cleanliness, improve material flow, and strengthen the operational effectiveness of Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana.

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.
