INTEGRATION OF CELL FORMATION AND LAYOUT DESIGN IN THE UNIDIRECTIONAL LOOP MATERIAL HANDLING ENVIRONMENT
A two-phase approach is proposed to deal with the integration problem in the loop layout.Tabu search is applied to cell construction in phase 1 to minimize the inter-cell flow, and the heuristic for layout design is used as phase 2 to optimize the sum ofintra-cell and inter-cell transportation cost.The final computational results demonstrate the validation of the two-phase approach.
