Solving Facility Layout Problem: Three-level Tabu Search Metaheuristic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper an improved tabu search (ITS) based approach is proposed for solving facility layout problem (FLP) which is formulated as quadratic assignment problem (QAP). ITS is an improved version of conventional tabu search technique which incorporates three levels viz. intensification, reconstruction, and solution acceptance. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed ITS, it is tested for benchmark instances taken from published literature. Also, a comparative analysis of ITS with other meta-heuristic approach is presented. It is found that ITS based approach provide comparative results.

Solving the competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of competitor with a hybrid algorithm including Tabu Search and exact method
In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملStochastic Facility Layout Planning Problem: A Metaheuristic and Case Study
Facility layout is one of the most important Operations Management problems due to its direct impact on the financial performance of both private and public firms. Facility layout problem (FLP) with stochastic parameters, unequal area facilities, and grid system modeling is named GSUA-STFLP. This problem has not been worked in the literature so that to solve GSUA-STFLP is our main contribution....
متن کاملThe P-Center Problem under Uncertainty
Facility location decisions play a prominent role in strategic planning of many firms, companies and governmental organizations. Since in many real-world facility location problems, the data are subject to uncertainty, in this paper, we consider the P-center problem under uncertainty of demands. Using Bertsimas and Sim approach, we develop a robust model of the problem as an integer programming...

متن کاملTabu search for the single row facility layout problem in FMS using a 3-opt neighborhood
Since material handling agents in a FMS are most efficient when moving in straight lines, a common layout of machines in a FMS is a single row layout. This allows a floor designer to model the problem of generating an optimal machine layout in a FMS as a single row facility layout problem (SRFLP). Due to the computational complexity involved in solving the SRFLP, researchers have developed seve...
