| Summary: | approach has potential to perform poorly for the worst case better to use an approach like the two-phase heuristic. This contributions to solving the facility layout problem most design. However, most of this research has been done with deterministic data. Although these are important Due to the dynamic nature of the problem, usually only a dynamic layout plan is that it will be better able to cope dynamic nature of the facility layout problem. This et al. 1992). The expected demand approach, by design, evaluate this problem with a formulation that simultaneously expected demand performance. In a situation where there is Facility planning is used to design a new facility layout or have been predetermined to be robust in hopes of developing a modified version of the expected demand formulation (Palekar perforns well for expected demand scenarios.

The two-phase heuristic is compared with a portion of the future demand data is known during the design potential to encounter costly worst case scenarios, it may be problem. procedure minimizes total costs while utilizes layouts that real facility layout problems are ongoing, dynamic problems. redesign an existing facility layout. A wide variety of research has been done in the area of facility planning and respect to static facility layout design assuming robust dynamic layout plan. The expectation of this robust scenarios. Conversely, the new two-phase heuristic attempts solution procedure that considers both the stochastic and takes' into account the dynamic and stochastic nature of the thesis provides examples that show instances where this two- This thesis develops and models a two-phase heuristic to improve the worst case scenarios while maintaining good which cannot always be fully defined during the facility with the dynamic environment of real world applications, |
