Layout design for flexible manufacturing systems considering single-loop directional flow patterns

Article Abstract:

A two-step heuristic solution is proposed for addressing the layout design problems in a flexible manufacturing system. The importance of material handling in production is emphasized and the benefits of efficient layout arrangements and material flow path design in productivity are discussed.
