Multi-objective Mixed Integer Programming approach for facility layout design by considering closeness ratings, material handling, and re-layout cost

A novel multi-objective Interactive Coral Reefs Optimization algorithm for the Unequal Area Facility Layout Problem

“…Also, Ripon et al [56] solved UA-FLPs by means of a multi-objective approach that included a variable neighborhood search (VNS) and an adaptive strategy. In addition, in order to take into account more than one objective, both Saraswat et al [57] and Purnomo and Wiwoho [58] employed the methodology suggested by Sherali et al [31]. Moreover, Liu et al [59] suggested a particle swarm optimization approach in order to solve the multi-objective UA-FLP.…”

A novel Island Model based on Coral Reefs Optimization algorithm for solving the unequal area facility layout problem

“…The UA-FLP has been tackled before in a large number of research works. Among them, we can highlight some Deterministic Methods (Montreuil, 1991;Meller et al, 1998;Sherali et al, 2003;Castillo et al, 2005;Norman and Smith, 2006;Saraswat et al, 2015;Purnomo and Wiwoho, 2016) that have optimally solved the problem with up to 12 facilities (Chae and Regan, 2016). However, meta-heuristic proposals (Ramadas and Abraham, 2019) have been much more used to solve the UA-FLP, especially in problems with a large number of facilities, where deterministic approaches cannot be applied due to their excessive computational complexity.…”

“…This value is equal to the sum of costs associated with the movement of material between each pair of facilities i and j in the plant (f ij ) multiplied by the distance between those facilities' centers (d ij ). There are also other works that consider a multiobjective optimization approach (Abraham and Jain, 2005) to solve this problem (Ripon et al, 2013;Saraswat et al, 2015;Purnomo and Wiwoho, 2016;Sherali et al, 2003), by taking into account aspects such as adjacency requirements, distance requests, etc. (Aiello et al, 2006;Gomez et al, 2003).…”

“…Also, in the work conduct by Aiello et al [19] and Aiello et al [20], the Electre method and a multi-objective genetic algorithm was employed for optimization from the view of closeness request material handling cost and distance request. In addition, in order to consider more than one objective, both Purnomo et al [21] and Saraswat et al [22] applied the methodology suggested by Sherali et al [23]. What's more, the particle swarm optimization approaches are suggested to handle the multiobjective plant facility layout problem.…”
