RISA new concept of adjacency for concurrent consideration of economic and safety aspects in design of facility layout problems
In this manuscript a new phenomenon of adjacency and closeness rating is proposed for constructing the optimal facility layout design. In the proposed approach, the closeness rating is applied to every pair of neighboring ...
An optimal approach for maximizing the number of adjacencies in multi floor layout problem
Multi-floor facility layout problem concerns the arrangement of departments on the different floors. In this paper, a new mathematical model is proposed for multi-floor layout with unequal department area. Maximising the ...
A new linear adjacency approach for facility layout problem with unequal area departments
In this study a new version of adjacency, which provides a more flexible layout design, is proposed. In the proposed version, departments which are nonadjacent yet close to each other are considered to be adjacent with a ...
Constructing an optimal facility layout to maximize adjacency as a function of common boundary length
An effective facility layout implies that departments with high flow are laid adjacent. However, in the case of a very narrow boundary length between the neighbouring departments, the adjacency would actually be useless. ...
