The paper presents a genetic algorithm-based meta-heuristic to solve the facility layout problem (FLP) in a manufacturing system, where the material flow pattern of the multi-line layout is considered with the multi-products. The matrix encoding technique has been used for the chromosomes under the objective of minimizing the total material handling cost. The proposed algorithm produces a table with the descending order of the data corresponding to the input values of the flow and cost data. The generated table is used to create a schematic representation of the facilities, which in turn is utilized to heuristically generate the initial population of the chromosomes and to handle the heuristic crossover and mutation operators. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been proved through solving the two examples with the total cost less than the other genetic algorithms, CRAFT algorithm, and entropy-based algorithm.
