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 …

Dynamic facility layout planning (DFLP) involves determining an appropriate arrangement
scheme of the elements making up the production system for each time period into which the …

The single row layout problem (SRLP) consists of finding the most efficient arrangement of a
given number of facilities or machines along one side of the material handling path, a topic …

The multi-row facility layout problem (MRLP) is an important design problem often
encountered in real life. Existing studies on MRLPs typically either ignore clearances …

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 …

As the competition among the global marketplaces increases rapidly, the provision of high‐

This paper deals with cooperative competition in facility location problems in which potential
players (investors) are in competition (or conflict) over acquiring suitable sites and clients. In …

The facility layout problem (FLP) is to arrange facilities within a given area so as to minimise
the total material-handling cost. An efficient arrangement of facilities plays an important part …

This paper addresses the multi-floor process plant layout problem by developing four mixed
