Abstract
Facility layout problem: Bibliometric and benchmarking analysis
Highlights
Facility Layout Problem (FLP) is defined as the finding of the most efficient departments arrangement on a plant area subject to different constraints in order to satisfy one or more objectives (Heragu, 1997)
When the flow of materials between facilities does not change over time, the problem is known as the Static Facility Layout Problem (SFLP), while when material flows vary, the SFLP becomes a Dynamic Facility Layout Problem (DFLP)
This paper explores the extant literature on the “Facility Layout Problem” to identify the main research trends over the last decades
Summary
Facility Layout Problem (FLP) is defined as the finding of the most efficient departments arrangement on a plant area subject to different constraints in order to satisfy one or more objectives (Heragu, 1997). These above-mentioned features vary from one application to the other making the benchmarking of the performance of each approach a tough issue (Aiello et al, 2013). We collect papers belonging to the same class of problems and we identify those referred to the same instances This is the first time in which a bibliometric analysis is conducted on the FLP and it represents a framework of the main indicators that characterize publications in this field.
