Abstract

In this paper the component approach to designing a detailed layout is considered. The component approach has four distinct phases of layout design: (a) block layout, (b) input/output station location, (c) flow network design, and (d) aisle netting-out We look at the problem of simultaneously designing the station locations and flow network. Two different topologies are considered. Formulation and solution procedures for these topologies are discussed.
