Abstract

The Facility layout design problem has employed Euclidean or rectilinear distance measure. However, in manufacturing systems that are characterized by material moves through pre-specified aisles or routes and workcells with I/O ports, an accurate distance measure must be a flow distance with consideration of the possible orientations of workcell. Moreover, the shape for a workcell is usually different from the others. In this paper, a mathematical model to minimize the total flow distance between I/O ports of variable shaped workcells is developed. The simulated annealing-based heuristic algorithm is presented. The computational experiments to find appropriate parameter values and to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm are executed and the results are analyzed.
