| Abstract: | The problem of plant layout has generally been treated as a static one. Now it is discussed as a dynamic one. Both optimal and heuristic procedures are developed for this problem and are based on a dynamic programming formulation. The use of one of these approaches depends on the ability to solve the static problem efficiently. Finally, the issue of extending the planning horizon, and the problem, how to resolve system nervousness when previously planned layouts need to be changed, are discussed. Incorporating the stochastic nature of demand into the analysis of the dynamic plant layout problems is suggested. |
