Abstract:

The facility layout design is the key problem in manufacturing system. Based on the constraints such as the cost of facility logistics and the space of equipment, this paper sets up a Quadratic Assignment Problem model of facility layout. The model is solved using Differential Evolution algorithm according to the features of facility layout, which is combined with Random Key technology. The test results performed on the liner and circular layout show the proposed approach can solve effectively the facility layout design problem.
