The dynamic cellular facility layout problem (DCFLP) is a well-known NP-hard problem. It
has been estimated that the efficient design of DCFLP reduces the manufacturing cost of …

In this paper, we formulate a model to solve the facility layout problem in Cellular
Manufacturing Systems (CMS). This model assumes that the demand rate varies over the …

This paper develops a novel mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the intra-cell
layout design of dynamic cellular manufacturing systems. In dynamic environment, the …

The fiercely competitive business environment may require the manufacturing layouts to be
modified across the entire planning horizon owing to addition or deletion of new/existing …

Good layout plan leads to in improve machine utilization, part demand quality, efficient setup
time, less work-in-process inventory and material handling cost. Cellular Manufacturing …

In this paper, we formulate a model solving both inter-cell and intra-cell facility layout
problems for cellular manufacturing systems. This model minimizes the total material …

Facility layout which is the arrangement of facilities in the shop-floor has a great impact on
the performance of manufacturing systems. An effective layout decreases material handling …

In today's economy, manufacturing plants must be able to operate efficiently and respond
quickly to changes in product mix and demand. Therefore, this paper considers the problem …

The dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP) aims to minimize the sum of handling and re-
layout costs by devising an individual layout for each distinctive production period. It is a …

In this article, a novel integrated mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is presented
for designing a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) considering machine layout and part …
