Abstract

Layout of manufacturing industries is affected by uncertainties such as seasonality, product variation, machine breakdown and other sociopolitical challenges. These uncertainties highly impact the productivity, inventory cost, delivery time, performance quality, and customer satisfaction. To efficiently design the layout considering these uncertainties, it is modeled as Stochastic Dynamic Facility Layout Problem (SDFLP). In this paper, a case of garment manufacturing industry is discussed and solved as a SDFLP. A hybrid Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Chaotic Simulated Annealing (CSA) are used to optimally design layout for the garment manufacturing unit. It is found that the proposed layout is better than the existing layouts.
