Abstract :
This paper presents a strategy for using Harmony Search algorithm in facility layout optimization problems. In this paper an
adapted harmony search algorithm is developed for solving facility layout optimization problems. This method finds an optimal
facility arrangement in an existing layout. Two real-world case studies are employed to demonstrate the efficiency of this model.
A comparison is also made to illustrate the efficiency of these strategies in facility layout optimization
