Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The use of a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimise the binary variables in a mixed-integer linear programming model for the block layout design problem with unequal areas that satisfies area requirements is analysed. The performance of a GA is improved using a local search through the possible binary variables assignment; results encourage the use of this technique to find a set of feasible solutions for the block layout design with more than nine departments.
