Some algorithms for decision-making about lay-out of production systems

Decision-making on lay-out demands consideration of numerous criteria. This paper considers the most important of them and divides them into three groups: limiting, mutually influencing and marginal conditions. Because of the different criteria, we also need different approaches to the various problems. Many possible ways of solving lay-out problems are shown schematically The main text illustrates two algorithms: decision-making on lay-out of the arrangement of new production systems, and changing existing lay-outs. Each states a procedure leading to the best solution. Although materials flow will be the most important decision-making factor, the changing nature of working life demands the inclusion of other factors and conditions. Mathematical algorithms and the use of computers to this end can only aid the decision-making procedure to a limited extent.
