Algorithms for robust single and multiple period layout planning for manufacturing systems

Article Abstract:

An algorithm to create robust manufacturing system layout designs was developed. This approach for layout decision making was found to satisfy the requirements of a manufacturing systems designer. Moreover, the robustness approach involves long planning horizons and inaccurate information on production volumes, thus motivating the designer search for cost-effective layouts. The algorithm was also applied to problems with single period and multiple period planning horizons.
