Multiple-Stage Mathematical Programming for Single and Multi-Floor Facility Layout Problems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari Jokar, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Single floor facility layout problem (FLP) is related to finding the arrangement of a given number of departments within a facility; in multi-floor FLP, the departments should be imbedded on some floors which are inside the facility. The significant influence of layout design on effectiveness of any organization has made FLP an important issue. This paper presents a three (two) stage mathematical programming method to find competitive solutions for multi (single) floor problems. The first stage assigns the departments to the floors by using a mixed integer programming model (the single floor version does not require this stage). The second stage uses a nonlinear programming model to specify...

Abstract
Single floor facility layout problem (FLP) is related to finding the arrangement of a given number of departments within a facility; while in multi-floor FLP, the departments should be imbedded in some floors inside the facility. The significant influence of layout design on the effectiveness of any organization has turned FLP into an important issue. This paper presents a three- (two-) stage mathematical programming method to find competitive solutions for multi- (single-) floor problems. At the first stage, the departments are assigned to the floors through a mixed integer programming model (the single floor version does not require this stage). At the second stage, a nonlinear programming...
