USING GENETIC ALGORITHAM TO OPTIMISE MACHINE LAYOUT PROBLEM

Abstract

In this paper, it is presented problem of machine layout optimization. The importance of resolving the problem is large for manufacturers, who whant to save production time and cost. Poor layout gives longer traveling distance from one machine to anather and biger cost in handling the material for production. Time saving and cost reduction are achived by redusing the travel distance of people, especialy material and informations. The papire deals with genethic alghoritm whose objective is to find the appropriate placment of the machines in workspace.
