Abstract:
This study aims at improving the multi-floor layout of a card and packet production company based on the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method. A detailed study of the facility layout such as its operational processes, flow of materials and activity relationships has been done. Long distance, cross-traffic, and cost have been identified as the major problems of the current multi-floor layout. Three alternative layouts were suggested by SLP and the best alternative was selected and compared with the current layout. The results revealed that the new alternative layout could considerably improve the companys layout problems.

Abstract:
One important factor to consider in increasing productivity in a company is the design of the facility layout. PT Hari Mukti Teknik is keen producing pyrolysis machine to contribute to addressing waste issue in Indonesia. Currently, the facility layout at the company is not suitable to produce pyrolizers as it was set up to produce industrial scale washing machines. To improve production efficiency, PT Hari Mukti Teknik needs facility layout that can be optimized for pyrolizers. The purpose of this study is to provide a layout design proposal for the pyrolysis machine manufacturing process to obtain an effective and efficient process. Here, we used ALDEP method to produce layouts based on consideration of the level of relationship between departments. There were 4 alternatives for the manufacturing and production and two alternative layouts for employee and office area. The design for new layout was selected based on the closeness relationship between the departments. An overall facility layout plan that is required for the production of pyrolysis machines is a building area the total of 1045 m² covering manufacturing, production, employee, office and parking space areas.

Abstract:
A problem in multi-objective dynamic facility layout is achieving distance- and adjacency-based objectives for arranging facility layouts across multiple time periods. As a non-deterministic polynomial time-hard problem, it resembles the quadratic assignment problem (QAP), which can be solved through meta-heuristics such as ant colony optimization (ACO). This study investigates three multi-objective approaches coupled with ACO to solve this problem. As the experimental design, we apply the proposed methods to solve the dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP), multi-objective facility layout problem, and multi-objective DFLP based on data sets from the literature to test the quality of the solution. The results show that the proposed methods are effective for solving the problem.

Abstract:
The general Facility Layout Problem deals with the arrangement of machines within the facility based on the constraints such as material flow distance, volume of flow of products, material handling cost and operation sequence of product. The facility layout problem is directly linked with the efficiency of the facility or the manufacturing line. The objective of this project is to design a simulation based methodology experiment on designing an optimized facility layout and evaluating the proposed alternative layouts using ARENA simulation. This project is conducted at Benteng Motor Sdn. Bhd. in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Currently, the company is planning to expand their manufacturing plant and hence the company needs an optimized facility layout to maximize the product capacity and manufacturing throughput time on a minimum utilization of resources environment. An eight steps simulation methodology is being proposed to design an optimized facility layout. A manufacturing re-engineering scenario has been developed to improve the existing system. The proposed scenario was evaluated using Arena simulation student package. The scenario has significantly increases the production capacity up to 225%, decrease the manufacturing throughput time by 19% as well as increase the utilization of majority of the manufacturing resources more than 200%.

Abstract:
The facility layout problem is one of the fundamental production system management problems. It has a significant impact on overall system efficiency. This paper introduces a new facility layout problem that allows for choosing from multiple variants of each facility. The need for choosing the most suitable selection from the facility variants while at the same time optimizing other layout quality indicators represents a new optimization challenge. We build on our previous work where single- and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms using indirect representation were proposed to solve the facility layout problem. Here, the evolutionary algorithms are adapted for the problem of facility variants, including the new solution representation and variation operators. Additionally, a cooling schedule, whose role is to control the exploration/exploitation ratio during the course of the optimization process, is proposed. It was inspired by the cooling schedule used in the simulated annealing technique. The extended evolutionary algorithms have been experimentally evaluated on two data sets, with and without the alternative variants of facilities. The obtained results demonstrate the capability of the extended evolutionary algorithms to solve the newly formulated facility layout problem efficiently. It also shows that the cooling schedule improves the convergence of the algorithms.

Abstract:
Abstract Aiming at the problem of facility layout in intelligent workshops, a collaborative optimization method of facility layout and AGV path planning based on discrete event simulation (DES) is proposed. This method can increase the production capacity of the workshop by solving the workshop open-field layout problem (OFLP). First, to simplify the complex constraints of OFLP, a mathematical programming model is established. Second, a hybrid algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal facility layout and the corresponding multiple AGV paths. Then, the DES is used to calculate the logistics data of the facility layout, and the capacity is taken as the algorithm objective function. Finally, a practical intelligent workshop layout problem is taken as a research case. The calculation results show that the capacity of the workshop is increased by 54% under the optimized layout. Through the special nonlinear integer programming mathematical model and discrete simulation modelling, the optimization method can take into account the complex dynamic logistics process and multiple AGV conflicts and give full play to the flexible and efficient characteristics of open-field layouts. The final workshop layout can not only be close to the actual situation but also have excellent performance.

Abstract:
In recent years, companies have increased their focus on sustainability to achieve environmental-friendly improvements, to manage pressures from society and regulations, and to attract customers that appreciate sustainability efforts. While companies have mainly aimed short-term/operational improvements, long-term improvements are difficult to reach. One of the fundamental, strategical decision-making processes for a company is facility layout planning. The layout of a facility can have a significant impact on daily operations. Aiming for the goal of sustainability, a dynamic layout decision-making process can support in achieving it. However, the technologies used currently enable only the design of a static layout due to the time-consuming operations involved. In this paper, the introduction of emerging technologies such as 3D mapping, Indoor Positioning System (IPS), Motion Capture System (MoCap), and Immersive Reality (IR) for dynamic layout planning are assessed and discussed. The results obtained clearly demonstrate that the usage of these technologies favor a reconfigurable layout, positively affecting all the three pillars constituting the sustainability concept: the costs involved are reduced, social aspects are improved, and the environment is safeguarded.

Abstract:
Generally facility layout problems are solved traditionally using assembly layout or process layout or cellular layout. Hybrid layouts are layouts that combine all three traditionally layouts considering product characteristics and capacity requirements. In this research, a systematic methodology to design the hybrid layouts is performed. The need for developing a hybrid layout is justified based on the product routing and layout requirements. The size of the problem is minimized using product analysis techniques which also minimizes the computational time. New similarity measures are developed to consider the missing entities of the previous research works. Products and machines are segregated for different type of layouts (assembly layout, process layout and distributed layout) based on machine utilization and the similarities between the products. Mathematical models are developed to arrange machines that are segregated for the different types of layouts. The computational time of the mathematical models are also minimized by introducing the product machine incidence matrix as the input data. The effective utilization of the machines is maximized by sharing the machines between the layouts. The proposed methodology is evaluated by two case studies. It is proved that the methodology is effective to solve large sized facility layout problems.

Abstract:
The facilities layout problem, which is an integral part of facilities design, aims to spatially locate the production units within a facility subject to some design criteria and area limitations, with one or multiple objectives. In this study, the layout problem is reviewed in detail, with an emphasis on the dynamic environment it operates in. Despite the fact that layouts within the context of changing manufacturing requirements represent the problem better, the single period block layout problem is observed to have remained worth analyzing. In this thesis, a hybrid model that combines the strong aspects of the available models in the literature is constructed for the single period block layout problem. The LP relaxation of this model and the effect of adding valid inequalities to the model are studied. A rounding heuristic based on the LP relaxation of the problem is proposed and computational experimentation is made. Also, an evolutionary algorithm scheme that uses the sequence pair representation is proposed. Three mutation operators are developed to be used in this scheme. Preliminary test are made for implementations of these operators and results are given.

Abstract:
Among many issues involved within the field of manufacturing systems, the design of facilities layout is an ongoing and interesting research field, where new solutions and approaches are sought to determine the appropriate location and physical organisation of the resources in manufacturing systems. Issues such as space, material handling, machine placement and orientation, utilities location, and environmental factors are important features that may be considered when establishing the requirements of a facility layout design. The facility layout design can be thought of in terms of interconnecting work centres that can be represented by a set of interrelated vertices in a graph. Directed graphs can be used to characterise each product operation sequence, which combined into a single directed graph, be used to represent appropriately a layout design. Doing this together with the material handling system requirements, will allow better facilities planning and may improve process sequences that should be reflected in better designs. The Strong Component Based Methodology proposed here, obtains a graphical structure from the integration of various products and using their operation sequences to produce a relationship diagram. The attributes of the resultant structure are used to create this diagram. The objective is to obtain layouts that minimise material handling, that is, as close as possible to that which can be obtained with dedicated facilities for each product family but without the capital costs involved in the case of the latter. Encouraging results have been obtained by considering strong components, a feature of directed graphs, because less computational resources than in the case of many previous methods, which use Quadratic Assignment Problem approaches, are required to formulate and produce a relationship diagram. Moreover, this approach produces faster designs than other graph theoretic approaches because it avoids using planar and dual graphs. These characteristics allow the Strong Components approach to address more complex situations and obtain comparable or better solutions than previous approaches. The proposed Strong Component approach is a robust and versatile tool to support layout designs. It is a robust methodology because it provides efficient relationship diagrams even in cases when the resultant structure has relatively few strong component relationships. It is a versatile approach, because it can address various situations and can use different criteria to create layouts. Thus, the proposed approach offers effective-economical relationship diagrams to produce the same set of products as when producing them in dedicated facilities.

Abstract:
This article outlines the aspects of inherent safety for the topside layout design of a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility. An FLNG plant requires a compact design; meanwhile, it needs the safest layout to tackle multi-dimensional safety issues. Thus, the layout of the facility is a paramount factor for ensuring its safety in a cost effective way. Three layouts are proposed and evaluated from the inherent safety perspective. The layout of the process area is mainly focused due to its higher risks. Integrated inherent safety index, cost index and domino hazard index are used to evaluate the three layouts in quantitative terms. An optimal layout is finally chosen based on both inherent safety and cost performance.

Abstract:
Abstract Preparing manufacturing systems to deal with disruptions caused by unexpected factors such as COVID-19 is critical to remain in today’s competitive market. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) which are characterized by being rapid and cost-effective in response to market changes, are a good alternative to cope with such unexpected events. From the layout point of view, in an RMS, the layout of facilities needs to be changeable and able to be redesigned easily. Dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP) is a good approach to develop layouts that are capable to be changed and redesigned. Dynamic programming (DP) has been known as one of the effective methods to deal with DFLP. To optimize DFLP by DP, the set of possible layouts for every single period which is called the state-space is given to DP and the best multi-period layout is found. Since the number of possible layouts increases rapidly with the increase in the number of facilities, considering all these layouts encounters two major difficulties, memory requirements and computer time requirements. This paper proposes a method that has two main phases. In the first phase, the set of layouts to be considered in each period are determined using a heuristic approach. These layouts are the states in the DP approach where the periods constituted the decomposition stages. The recursive formulation of DP is solved in the second phase using a hybridized metaheuristic approach. The proposed approach restricts the DP to a good subset of the state-space. A genetic algorithm is applied to search for the best subset of layouts where each chromosome represents one subset of layouts. This subset is given to DP to be solved and the result is considered as the fitness of the chromosome. By the evolution of the chromosomes, the best subset of layouts that leads to the best multi-period layout plan is found. The proposed approach is evaluated against DP benchmarks in the literature. Computational results show that the proposed approach is able to provide more efficient solutions, especially for large-sized problems.

Abstract:
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a promising technology for localization in various industrial applications. In RFID localization, accuracy is the top performance concern, and it is affected by multiple factors. In this paper, we investigate how the facility geometry impacts the expected localization accuracy in the entire region where the target is uniformly distributed. Three groups of geometries, namely, rectangles with various length-to-width ratios, circle, and regular polygons with 3–10 edges, are chosen for this study. A hybrid multilateration approach, which combines linearization and nonlinear optimization, is used to estimate the target location. Since the layout of landmarks significantly affects localization performance, we evaluate the expected accuracy in a facility obtained under the optimal landmark layout for the facility. The optimal landmark layout for each type of facility geometry is obtained, and then the effect of geometry is studied by comparing the expected accuracies of these layouts. It is discovered that (1) the optimal layouts follow several simple empirical deployment principles, (2) for all geometries, the expected accuracy improves and tends to reach the expected Cramer-Rao lower bound as more landmarks are used, and (3) if the same numbers of landmarks are used, the expected accuracies for circular and regular polygonal geometries are close. However, the expected accuracy for a rectangular geometry decreases as the length-to-width ratio increases.

Abstract:
The technology and procedures for the inspection of pipelines from offshore production and process facilities to shore or other offshore installations has developed rapidly in recent years. This rapid development can be attributed to several factors including pipeline operators protecting their investment in their lines, heightened environmental protection concerns, and increasing regulatory requirements. A limited number of the offshore pipeline systems in the U.S. currently include the ability to inspect the trunkline using either an ultrasonic or magnetic particle inspection pig. This pig is moved through the pipeline with the product flow from the trunkline's point of origin offshore to an onshore or nearshore facility. As the pig moves through the line, it takes and stores measurement readings which can be downloaded and interpreted after the pig is removed from the line. While inspection pig technology can provide the pipeline operator with valuable information, several factors can prohibit development of a successful trunkline inspection pigging program. Because inspection pigs have onboard data measurement and storage facilities, they are significantly longer and heavier than foam or scraper pigs, and must be articulated to negotiate pipe bends. The minimum negotiable bend radius varies among inspection pig vendors, but is typically between 3 - 5 pipe diameters. The drive cups on an articulated pig are located in the front to prevent buckling. The cups must maintain a close fit with the inside pipe diameter to propel the pig through the pipeline and can stall or jam in a multi-diameter pipeline. The scope of the project includes the development of several basic concepts which, in principle, meet the project objectives. These concepts have been evaluated from several technical viewpoints and two primary concepts selected for further development. A preliminary design effort, carried out on both primary concepts, includes: Structure stress calculations; Detailed layouts of major assemblies and components Step by step installation, operation, and maintenance procedures; Detailed capital and operating cost development. A basic scenario of a 12"� ANSI 900# rated system in 400 ft. water depth is used for both concepts. A sensitivity analysis for the effects of greater and lesser water depths (800 ft. and 100 ft.) and a change in pipe size to 8"� nominal is also included.
