Design of Optimum Robust Layout
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshghi, Kourosh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Facility Layout Problem (FLP) is known as one of the classical problems in industrial engineering which have acquired high attractiveness to researchers. Therefore, in this study, a practical mathematical model is formulated and solved
In order to have a real and practical model, robust optimization is applied to FLP. Therefore, it is supposed to have dynamic values for departments' dimensions. This assumption is very critical to generate an effective and acceptable layout. We consider that each dimension of a department can be changed in a given interval. Due to this assumption, we introduce two new parameters which are called width and length deviation coefficients, respectively....

Maximizing the Number of Adjacencies in a Multi Floor Facility Layout Problem with Unequal Rectangular Departments
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ghasemi-Taromi, Farhad (Supervisor) ; Hajji, Alireza (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Facility layout problem (FLP) is one of classical optimization problem in engineering science. The theoretical attractiveness and practical applications of the problem have created a rich literature in the FLP. There are varieties of measure of effectiveness’s for the FLPs, such as minimizing the space cost; minimizing the handing cost; maximizing the adjacencies; maximizing the safety and etc. Maximization of the adjacencies is a common measure of effectiveness, which is addressed in many related literatures especially, in continuous process facility layout. Using of the classical definition of the adjacency usually impose some restrictions on the layout designs. Due to these restrictions...
