Abstract :
The development and construction of artificial intelligence to solve a plant layout design problem are considered. The heuristic for pattern allocation, the heuristic search and heuristic function for problem solving, and the plant design knowledge base are used to construct the intelligent system. The pattern allocation procedure is the heuristic for generating the alternative layouts. In the problem solving procedure, the search heuristic searches for the best layout from the candidate layouts and the heuristic function directs the search process in the most profitable direction. The system performance has been evaluated and tested many times
