  • Finding the most efficient arrangement for a set of facilities in a system is an important and challenging task. Commonly known as facility layout problem (FLP), the objective is to assign each facility to a location such that an objective function (i.e. cost or distance) is minimized. This study proposes an improved optimization technique, namely k-means chaos genetic algorithm (KCGA), in solving the facility layout problem. The proposed model integrates two contrasting algorithm, chaos and k-means clustering, to effectively minimize the drawbacks of genetic algorithm. The former searches the solution space providing the necessary diversity in the population while the latter provides the general search direction of the algorithm, thus a faster convergence is achieved. To evaluate the model’s performance, two case studies: construction site layout (11 facilities) and architectural layout (28 facilities) are adopted. Experiment results on both problems demonstrate the superior performance of KCGA model in obtaining optimal solutions to the layout problem. The results show the potential of the proposed model as a search and optimization tool to assist planners and decision makers in facility layout planning.
