The Layout Optimization of the Multi-Sized Operating Units in the Facility Based on Space Utilization

Abstract:

This paper builds a mathematical model and designs an improved algorithm based on the lowest horizontal line search algorithm for the layout problem of the multi-sized rectangular operating units in the rectangular facility. This algorithm processes the horizontal lines and takes the minimum value of the length or width of the operating unit which is waiting to be arranged as a threshold to filter out the unusable horizontal line. And the empirical analysis demonstrates that the algorithm in this paper can give a good solution for the layout problem effectively.
