| Abstract: | A new approach to the solution of the facilities layout problem on the plane is presented. A simple procedure that can replace the dispersion phase of dispersion and concentration /DISCON/ is constructed. A scatter diagram of the facilities on the plane is described as a result, and it can be used by practitioners as guidelines for planning the layout. Since the method is simple and effective, large layout problems can be solved efficiently, by it. As the results cannot be compared with wellknown methods, a translation of the diagram into a rectangular pattern is provided. |
