摘要: Today's consumer market demands that manufacturers must be competitive. This requires the efficient operation of manufacturing plants and their ability to quickly respond changes in product mix demand. In addition, studies show material-handling cost make up between 20 50 percent total operating cost. Therefore, this paper considers problem arranging rearranging, when there are demand, facilities such sum material handling rearrangement costs is minimized. called dynamic facility layout (DFLP). paper, hybrid ant systems (HASs) developed solve DFLP. To test performance meta-heuristics, two data sets taken from literature used analysis. The results HASs techniques for solving More importantly, found new best solutions more than one-half all problems.
