Multi-Objective facility layout problem: A state-of-the-art review paper

Abstract

It has been over two decade since Rosenblatt (1979) published his work on multi-objective facility layout problem (MFLP). Since then, there have been modifications/ improvements to his work. Many other models to solve MFLP have also been proposed. Similarly, many heuristics and iterative procedures have been proposed to solve multi-objective facility layout problem. However, no comprehensive review work on multi-objective facility layout problem has been undertaken so far. In this paper we review the different works of research that have been carried out in the area of multi-objective facility layout problem particularly and discuss the future research directions.
