Classical Facility Layout Problems Revisited: Modern Challenges and Algorithmic Advances
Abstract
Facility layout problems constitute a classical and evolving research area in engineering management. This paper provides a structured review of research progress across various layout configurations—from Single Row to Multi-floor Layouts—and their solution methodologies, including exact algorithms and heuristic/metaheuristic approaches. It also synthesizes advances in mathematical modeling and identifies future research directions in the field, At the same time, it provides some references and optimization methods for future facility layout work.
