Solving facility layout problems using flexible bay structure representation and Ant System algorithm

This paper proposes an AntSystem (AS) algorithm for solving Unequal Area FacilityLayoutProblems (UA-FLPs) using FlexibleBayStructure (FBS) representation. In addition, an improvement to the FBS representation is made when solvingproblems with empty spaces. The method is extensively tested using nume...
