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 number of useful adjacencies...

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 ...

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 ...
