Reference Optimisation Models for Facility Layout Planing in the Metal-Mechanic Industry

Abstract:

In recent years, the layout of industrial plants has been a much-discussed topic in the scientific literature. However, many of the optimisation models used to formulate the problem have been applied to hypothetical test instances by adopting simplifications of reality, which makes their application in the metal-mechanic industries difficult. In this context, the present article presents a set of five optimisation models that can constitute a reference framework for creating an optimisation model that applies to case studies in the metal-mechanic sector.
