    Abstract

    Layout models for automated manufacturing systems are considered. The changes in product mix, part routings and process plans are incorporated into a stochastic single period layout model. A solution method, based on generating non-dominated layouts, is developed and illustrated. A dynamic programming formulation is also developed to capture the dynamic layout decisions in an automated manufacturing environment. A state space reduction approach is proposed for solving this multi-period model.
