Applying Ant Colony Optimization for Solving Facility Layout Problem with Unequal Area and Flexible Bay Structure, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akhavan Niaki, Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis a model of mixed integer programming to find the optimal solution of bi-objective facility layout problem in flexible bay structure according to uncertainty in flow material among departments and closeness rating is represented. In a facility layout problem based on flexible bay structure, departments with unequal areas are allocated to parallel bays. Also each department can only be allocated in one bay. The Goals are to minimize material handling cost and to maximize closeness rating. Uncertainty in flow material and closeness rating are modeled by fuzzy numbers. Due to the high complexity of the presented model, exact methods are only able to respond to maximize of 9...
