XYZ is a company engaged in the field of transformers which produces several types of transformers. Transformer production process is made to order a production process that has a fluctuating pattern. Companies also often cannot estimate the number of transformers that will be produced to meet consumer demand. The purpose of this study is to improve plant layout with an efficient layout. One method used in this study is the Activity Relationship Chart and From To Chart methods. Activity Relationship Chart and From To Chart are methods that can help solve problems which are then explained in more detail through several stages of completion to the optimal point. This research is expected to produce a more efficient layout using the Activity Relationship Chart and From To Chart  method.

Facility layout design is becoming more challenging as manufacturing moves from traditionally emphasised mass production to mass customisation. The increasing demand for customised products and services is driving the need to increase flexibility and adaptability of both production processes and their material handling systems. A holistic approach for designing facility layouts with optimised flows considering production and logistics systems constraints seems to be missing in the literature. Several tools, including traditional methods, analytic hierarchy process, multiple-attribute decision making, simulation, and optimisation methods, can support such a process. Among these, simulation-based optimisation is the most promising. This paper aims to develop a facility layout design methodology supported by simulation-based optimisation while considering both production and logistics constraints. A literature review of facility layout design with simulation and optimisation and the theoretical and empirical challenges are presented. The integration of simulation-based optimisation in the proposed methodology serves to overcome the identified challenges, providing managers and stakeholders with a decision support system that handles the complex task of facility layout design.

Machine learning, neural networks, and metaheuristic algorithms are relatively new subjects, closely related to each other: learning is somehow an intrinsic part of all of them. On the other hand, cell formation (CF) and facility layout design are the two fundamental steps in the CMS implementation. To get a successful CMS design, addressing the interrelated decisions simultaneously is important. In this article, a new nonlinear mixed-integer programming model is presented which comprehensively considers solving the integrated dynamic cell formation and inter/intracell layouts in continuous space. In the proposed model, cells are configured in flexible shapes during the planning horizon considering cell capacity in each period. This study considers the exact information about facility layout design and material handling cost. The proposed model is an NP-hard mixed-integer nonlinear programming model. To optimize the proposed problem, first, three metaheuristic algorithms, that is, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Keshtel Algorithm (KA), and Red Deer Algorithm (RDA), are employed. Then, to further improve the quality of the solutions, using machine learning approaches and combining the results of the aforementioned algorithms, a new metaheuristic algorithm is proposed. Numerical examples, sensitivity analyses, and comparisons of the performances of the algorithms are conducted.

The layout of production facilities has a very important impact and interrelationship between facilities with each other to support the smoothness of the production process.Frequently the biggest problems in the production system are caused by unsystematic handling of materials. This study, applies a genetic algorithm to obtain a facility layout design (machine) optimally. Inputs from this study include machine numbers, machine dimensions, machine sequences in each section, production volume in each section, and flow frequency in each section. The output of this study is the machine layout with a minimum total flow cost. This study solved the case in the rehab product production facility at PT Shima Prima Utama which consisting of 16 machines and 29 components. The results of the study in this case are that the optimal machine placement sequence is 13, 3, 9, 15, 6, 10, 2, 12, 8, 16, 7, 1, 11, 5, 14 and 4 with a total flow cost of 197,434.

Facility layout design problem considers the departments’ physcial layout design with area requirements in some restrictions such as material handling costs, remoteness and distance requests. Briefly, facility layout problem related to optimization of the layout costs and working conditions. This paper proposes a new multi objective simulated annealing algorithm for solving of the unequal area in layout design. Using of the different objective weights are generated with entropy approach and used in the alternative layout design. Multi objective function takes into the objective function and constraints. The suggested heuristic algorithm used the multi-objective parameters for initialization. Then prefered the entropy approach determines the weight of the objective functions. After the suggested improved simulated annealing approach applied to whole developed model. A multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm is implemented to increase the diversity and reduce the chance of getting layout conditions in local optima.
