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 …

A bilevel programming model represents the relationship in a specific decision process that
involves decisions within a hierarchical structure of two levels. The upper-level problem is …

The layout is an important issue in the design of manufacturing systems. In conventional
systems, the layout rarely changes after the initial design. However, as the market demands …

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 …

Healthcare facilities are recognized as significant public architectural design, given their
design complexity. Particularly in the early stages of design process, the spatial …

Facility layout problems focus on the assignment of departments into the facility layout by
considering the minimization of total costs. A well-designed facility result in efficient material …

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 …

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 …

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 …
