Abstract:
This thesis investigates the Flexible Layout Design Problem (FLDP), which involves
a set of stations arranged in a matrix-structured manufacturing system (MMS). Initially,
the main objectives are to minimize the number of stations used and to
minimize the flow of transport between stations. Subsequently, we implement a
Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model which integrate resource allocations
into the FLDP and propose a matheuristic method to address the problem.
We conduct tests using a chosen dataset for 20 minutes and then for 5 minutes.
Finally, we discuss the results obtained and conclude with perspectives for future
research.
