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 …

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 …

Facility layout aims to arrange a set of facilities in a site. The main objective function is to
minimize the total material handling cost under production-derived constraints. This problem …

The facility layout design problem is significantly relevant within the business operations
strategies framework and has emerged as an alternate strategy towards supply chain …

To meet the requirement of product variety and short production cycle, reconfigurable
manufacturing system is considered as an effective solution in addressing current …

This research explores the double-floor corridor allocation problem (DFCAP), which deals
with the optimal arrangement of departments over two floors and then place them along both …

This paper investigates a new bi-objective parallel machine scheduling and location
problem: selecting locations for available machines, assigning jobs to these located …

Facility layout problem is related to the location of departments in a facility area, with the aim
of determining the most effective configuration. Researches based on different approaches …

This paper proposes a new approach to integrating the cell formation, group layout of
rectangle-shaped machines and routing selection problems. The problem is formulated as a …

The machine layout problem (MLP) is to determine the optimal location arrangement of
