The Relationship Between Facility Layout and Pasteurization Process Consistency in Blue Swimming Crab Canning Industry

The blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is one of Indonesia's most valuable fisheries export commodities, with canned pasteurized meat as the primary product for international markets. This study investigates the relationship between production facility layout and pasteurization process consistency at PT. Sumber Mina Bahari, Rembang, Central Java. Using a mixed-method approach combining direct observation, time-motion studies, temperature monitoring, and seam integrity testing over 75 production days (October 2025–January 2026), we assessed layout efficiency metrics and pasteurization compliance against company standards for can and cup products. Results indicate that the existing product layout configuration achieves material flow efficiency of 78.5%, with total inter-station distance of 84.6 m and average travel time of 4.2 min per batch. Pasteurization compliance rates were 96.8% for cans and 94.2% for cups, with temperature deviations exceeding ±1.5°F in 3.2% of monitored batches. Statistical analysis revealed a significant positive correlation (r=0.73, p<0.01) between transfer time from seaming to pasteurization and final product temperature uniformity, confirming that facility layout directly influences pasteurization process consistency. The study provides an integrated framework for evaluating layout- process relationships in seafood canning operations.
