| Abstract: | This paper examines the adjacency-based, and weighted criteria facility layout objective functions in an attempt to relate them to actual layout costs, which are typically dependent on material handling costs. As a result of this examination, the authors develop an objective function based on a basic material handling cost structure. They then show that this objective function is a generalization of the traditional weighted objective. |
