“…To demonstrate its performance, several problems were tested. Subsequently, Ahmadi-Javid and Ramshe [24] corrected the ILP formulation and developed a cutting-plane algorithm to generate reasonable computational results. Over time, other researchers have tried to develop a variety of powerful meta-heuristics to obtain better layout solutions in less computational time.…”

Facility layout problems (FLPs) are concerned with the non-overlapping arrangement of facilities. The objective of many FLP-based studies is to minimize the total material handling cost between facilities, which are considered as rectangular blocks of given space. However, it is important to integrate a layout design associated with continual material flow when the system uses circulating material handling equipment. The present study proposes approaches to solve the layout design and shortest single loop material handling path. Monarch butterfly optimization (MBO), a recently-announced meta-heuristic algorithm, is applied to determine the layout configuration. A loop construction method is proposed to construct a single loop material handling path for the given layout in every MBO iteration. A slicing tree structure (STS) is used to represent the layout configuration in solution form. A total of 11 instances are tested to evaluate the algorithm’s performance. The proposed approach generates solutions as intended within a reasonable amount of time.

“…As mentioned, the models to find the shortest loop in a given layout were proposed by several studies [23,24,40,41]. In this study, searching for the shortest loop in the layout should proceed in every iteration of the layout design process.…”
