A pure binary LP model to the facility layout problem

Christos Papahristodoulou
In facility layout problems, a major concern is the optimal design or remodeling of the facilities of an organization. The decision maker s objective is to arrange the facility in an optimal way, so that the interaction among functions (i.e. machines, inventories, persons) and places (i.e. offices, work locations, depots) is efficient. A simple pure-binary LP model is developed and solved for a small hospital, where five functions are to be redesigned to five different locations. The model is rather flexible and can be used, with small modifications, for larger facility layouts.
