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 …

Layout problems are found in several types of manufacturing systems. Typically, layout
problems are related to the location of facilities (eg, machines, departments) in a plant. They …

Construction site layout planning is a fundamental task for any project undertaking. In
practice, most of construction site layout planning problems are dynamic, multi-objective and …

Classical approaches to layout design problem tend to maximise the efficiency of layout,
measured by the handling cost related to the interdepartmental flow and to the distance …

This study examines the robust facility layout problem (RFLP) while taking into account
unpredictable health and environmental safety standards. This problem's major goal is to …

Determining the location of machines for given periods of time, depending on changes in the
material flow between the machines, is known in the literature as a dynamic facility layout …

In this chapter, we discuss facility location problems arising in the context of healthcare. We
concentrate on three main areas. The most classical one is healthcare facility location which …

The unequal area facility layout problem (UA-FLP) comprises a class of extremely difficult
and widely applicable optimization problems arising in diverse areas and meeting the …

This paper proposes a modified simulated annealing approach for solving multi objective
facility layout problem. Multi objective facility layout problem is solved by using different …

This paper deals with a multi-objective unequal sized dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP)
with pickup/drop-off locations. First, a mathematical model to obtain optimal solutions for …
