Shipyard facility layout optimization through the implementation of a sequential structure of algorithms.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this work is to optimize a shipyard facility layout through required departments' closeness conditions to minimize total material handling cost. In order to resolve this type facility layout problem, departments' closeness conditions must be respected when the manufacturing and material handling processes require it according to the supply and movement requirements throughout production flow, especially when the activity requires material handling equipment of common use between departments. As a result of this work the optimization is achieved through the implementation of a stochastic sequential algorithm, comprising the following steps: 1) Topological Optimization from a Genetic Algorithm, 2) Transferring the centroid coordinates of each department from the topological
