A New MILP Approach for the Facility Layout Design Problem with Rectangular and L/T Shaped Departments

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach for the facility layout
problem (FLP) and suggest new mixed-integer linear programming
(MILP) formulations. The proposed approach considers simultaneously
the location of the departments within the facility and the internal
arrangement of the machines. Two models are suggested, where the first
addresses the rectangular department case and the second allows nonrectangular departments defined by an L/T shape. New regularity
constraints are developed to avoid irregular department shapes.
