This work proposes a new methodology and mathematical formulation to address the facility
layout problem. The goal is to minimise the total material handling cost subjected to …

The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) decides upon the arrangement of facilities in
a straight row so as to minimise the material handling cost. Generally, this problem allows …

Multi-row facility layout problem (MRFLP) is a class of facility layout problems, which decides
upon the arrangement of facilities in some fixed numbers of rows in order to minimize …

Introducing expert knowledge into evolutionary algorithms for the facility layout design
problem can provide better solutions than the mathematically optimal solutions by …

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 …
