The objective of this researtch was to elaborate a project of a new layout to a female clothing manufacture company in the city of Feira de Santana, Bahia. In the face of the significance to the local economy and the scenario that the company is found, an improvement in the study production is satisfying. Since the layout is a factor that helps the production increase, in a way to better position the machines and equipments in order to reduce the existing bottlenecks, a required change of it optimizes the production flow and therefore increases the company profit. So, the proposal of layout change from this work was developed initially by a theoretical gathering in regards of physical arrangements. Therefore it is possible to perform the next steps required. Regarding the company, data was collected as physical infra-structure, type of produced parts, production process, current layout and productive flow. These data allowed by critics analysis to plan a new layout to the company. Consequently, with the development of this work was proposed a change in the cutting, finishing and tailpiece sectors. This change allowed a benefit to the tailpiece sector that was partially alocated in the cutting sector, some of which activities would be performed in this new place. With this study was possible to use two methods to collect data in regards to the company: SLP method and Guerchet method. And with this collecting a new layout proposal was made to the company, reducing the distance travelled by the part between the tailpiece and sewing sectors of 4.40m. Also to facilitate the communication between these sectors during the productive flow.
