    Plant layout is a key element in industrial engineering, as it aims to efficiently organize physical resources to optimize material flow, reduce non-productive time, and improve productivity. In this context, the production plant of the company Ecuatoriana de Autobuses Altabuss Cía. Ltda., dedicated to the manufacturing of bus bodies, was designed with the objective of improving operational efficiency and complying with current regulations. For the diagnosis and the proposal, tools such as Systematic Layout Planning (SLP), relationship matrices, route diagrams, simulation with FlexSim, and line balancing through POM-QM were used, based on times obtained from method and time studies. Additionally, various matrices were applied to assess organizational, operational, and regulatory aspects of the current situation. Two layout alternatives were evaluated; Proposal 1 showed better results by reducing travel distance by 727.3 meters, requiring less built area, and facilitating supervision and rework processes. Although both proposals showed similar time performance, Option 1 demonstrated spatial, operational, and economic advantages. The design allowed for increased production capacity: after an initial stabilization period of 24,500 minutes (51.04 working days), a stable production rate of one bus every 4,585 minutes (10 days) was achieved, enabling a total output of four units per month. Finally, although the regulatory evaluation was applied to the current situation, the new proposal was developed considering the criteria identified in that analysis, thus meeting the requirements of Executive Decree No. 255 on occupational health and safety.
