Heuristics for the dynamic facility layout problem with unequal-area departments
Alan R. McKendall,Artak Hakobyan +1 more
TL;DR: A boundary search (construction) technique, which places departments along the boundaries of already placed departments, is developed for the DFLP and improved using a tabu search heuristic, demonstrating the effectiveness of the heuristics.

A biased random-key genetic algorithm for the unequal area facility layout problem
TL;DR: A biased random-key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) for the unequal area facility layout problem (UA-FLP) where a set of rectangular facilities with given area requirements has to be placed, without overlapping, on a rectangular floor space is presented.

A hybrid genetic algorithm with decomposition phases for the Unequal Area Facility Layout Problem
TL;DR: This work addresses the Unequal-Area Facility-Layout Problem (UA-FLP), which aims to dimension and locate rectangular facilities in an unlimited floor space, without overlap, while minimizing the sum of distances among facilities weighted by “material-handling” flows, with two algorithmic approaches.
