A hybrid ant colony optimization algorithm for solving facility layout problems formulated as quadratic assignment problems

Purpose – This paper aims to describe a new hybrid ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm developed to solve facility layout problems (FLPs) formulated as quadratic assignment problems (QAPs). Design/methodology/approach – A hybrid ACO algorithm which combines max‐min ant system (MMAS) (i.e. a...
