Abstract
En 中文
In this paper we examine the adjacency-based, distance-based, and weighted-criteria facility layout objective functions in an attempt to relate them to actual layout costs, which are typically dependent on material handling costs. As a result of this examination, we develop an objective function based on a basic material handling cost structure. We then show that this objective function is a generalization of the traditional weighted objective. Since specifying weights may not be an exact process, we explore the impact of imperfect weighting-value information on solution quality. In the process, we illustrate with test problems from the literature that robust solutions-good solutions as measured by more than one set of weights-can be found with a simple procedure we call the robust layout method. This leads us to our general conclusion that using imperfect weighting-value information while we generate the layouts is better than using complete weighting-value information only after we generate the layouts.
