“…In this experiment, relocation costs are included. The optimum solution was not found; however, the results of SA showed a slight improvement over that of Rosenblatt [18]. Finally, in the third comparison the data set obtained from Balakrishnan and Cheng [20].…”

“…They compared their proposed algorithm to the three works done [18][19][20]. In the first comparison, their SA approach found optimum solution and revealed better solution than dynamic programming algorithm of Rosenblatt [18]. The second comparison has two experiments: first one carried out with no shifting cost and the SA algorithm found optimum solution and outperforms that Conway and Venkataramanan [19] genetic algorithm.…”

Good layout plan leads to in improve machine utilization, part demand quality, efficient setup time, less work-in-process inventory and material handling cost. Cellular Manufacturing (CM) is an application of GTCM is the combination of job shop and/or flow shop. Facility Layout Problem (FLP) for CMS includes both inter-cell layout and intra-cell layout. A bi-level mixed-integer non-linear programming continuous model has been formulated to fully define the problem and the relationship between intra-cell and inter-cell layout design. Facilities are assumed unequal size; operation sequences, part demands, overlap elimination, aisle are considered. The problem is NP-hard; hence, a simulated annealing meta-heuristic employing a novel constructive radial-based heuristic for initialization have been designed and implemented. For the first time, a novel heuristic algorithm has been designed to allocate and displace facilities in radial direction. In order to improve the search efficiency of the developed SA algorithm, the cell size used in the initialization heuristic algorithm is assumed twice as that of the original size of the cells. A real case study from the metal cutting inserts industry has been used. Results demonstrate the superiority of the developed SA algorithm against rival comparable meta-heuristics and algorithms from the literature.

Next Generation Factory Layouts: Research Challenges and Recent Progress

There is an emerging consensus that existing layout configurations do not meet the needs of the multi-product enterprise and that there is a need for a new generation of factory layouts that are more flexible, modular, and more easily reconfigurable. In this article, we offer a review of state of the art in the area of design of factory layouts for dynamic environments. We report on emerging efforts in both academia and industry in developing alternative layout configurations, new performance metrics, and solution methods for designing the "next generation" of factory layouts. In particular, we focus on describing efforts by the Consortium on Next Generation Factory Layouts (NGFL) to address some of these challenges. The consortium, supported by the National Science Foundation, involves multiple universities and several manufacturing companies. The goal of the consortium is to explore alternative layout configurations and alternative performance metrics for designing flexible and reconfigurable factories.1

This note develops a fathoming procedure for the Dynamic Plant Layout Problem (DPLP) discussed by Rosenblatt (1986) in this journal, This procedure can be used to reduce the number of candidate static layouts to be examined. An important feature of our procedure is that a feasible dynamic solution is not required in order to apply it. The effectiveness of this procedure depends on the relative magnitude of the shifting costs.Keywords: Facilities / Equipment Planning-Layout ; Dynamic Programming-Applications ; Networks / Graphs In this paper, a fathoming procedure is developed for R0senblatt's (1986) Dynamic Plant Layout Problem (DPLP). We use the notation in Rosenblatt. THEOREM. In period t, no static layout configuration
