Anjos, Miguel F., Vieira, Manuel V.C. This book presents a structured approach to develop mathematical optimization formulations for several variants of facility layout. The range of layout problems covered includes row layouts, floor layouts, multi-floor layouts, and dynamic layouts. The optimization techniques used to formulate the problems are primarily mixed-integer linear programming, second-order conic programming, and semidefinite programming. The book also covers important practical considerations for solving the formulations. |
The breadth of approaches presented help the reader to learn how to formulate a variety of problems using mathematical optimization techniques. The book also illustrates the use of layout formulations in selected engineering applications, including manufacturing, building design, automotive, and hospital layout.
Keywords: Mixed-integer linear programming, Semidefinite programming, Single-row facility layout, Multi-row facility layout, Single-floor facility layout, Several-floor facility layout, Dynamic facility layout, Quadratic assignment problem, Application of optimization techniques, VLSI floor planing, Order picking, Building design, Engineering Economics
