Abstract

LayOPT/sup TM/ is an innovative facilities layout analysis and optimization software package which can be used by layout planners and engineers in the optimal solution of single and multiple floor facility layout problems. LayOPT is ideal for the re-design of the overall layout for an existing facility or the development of a block layout for a new building. It can be applied to manufacturing, warehouse, office, and various service facility layout problems. This tutorial describes the LayOPT methodology and presents an overview of the software's features and capabilities.
