| Abstract: | The single-row facility layout problem arises when assigning service rooms along a corridor, storing files on the cylinders of a disk, and in flexible manufacturing systems where the efficiency of automated guided vehicles forces the layout to be linear. This paper describes a constructive heuristic which provides solutions to the single-row facility layout problem as to minimize the materials handling cost. The heuristic assigns the facilities with the largest number of moves between them to adjacent locations on the line. |
