Abstract
This paper presents a new approach for classifying facility layout techniques. Classification is based on the analysis of facility layout process as layout improvement, entire layout and partial layout model. This classification contributes two important concepts. First, it gives an idea of how the facility layout algorithm can be constructed; and second, it provides an idea of how the quality of the facility layout algorithm can be improved. Previous research into facility layout algorithms is also analysed to support the classification concept. © 1996 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
