Facility layout planning (FLP) involves a set of design problems related to the arrangement
of the elements that shape industrial production systems in a physical space. The fact that …

Facility layout problem (FLP) is defined as the placement of facilities in a plant area, with the
aim of determining the most effective arrangement in accordance with some criteria or …

This paper addresses a new meta-heuristic algorithm to solve a closed loop layout problem.
The proposed algorithm applies a modified version of the recently invented migrating birds …

The conventional facility layout problem (FLP) is concerned with arranging a number of
interacting facilities, such as machines or departments, within a single-floor or multi-floor …

The layout of manufacturing facilities has a large impact on manufacturing performance. The
layout design process produces a block plan that shows the relative positioning of resources …

Abstract Teaching-Learning-Based Optimisation (TLBO) is one of the more recently
developed metaheuristics and has been successfully applied to solve various optimisation …

Facility layout problem (FLP) is one of the classical and important problems in manufacturing
system. It involves determining the optimal placement of different types of facilities within the …

This paper deals with stochastic dynamic facility layout problem under demand uncertainty
in terms of material flow between facilities. A robust approach suggests a robust layout in …

The dynamic facility layout problem considers flow over multiple time periods in an
environment where the material flow between departments changes over time. If this …

It has been nearly two decades since the last major review of the literature in dynamic facility
layout. In these intervening years, many advances have been made in modelling as well as …
