Abstract

Because of design of aisles in facility layout affects material handling of workshops, considering material handling aisle is absolutely essential. However, many of previous researches don't consider material handling aisle, a few of researches considering it make dead space huge and can't make shape of workshop fixed. These led to unreality on facility layout. In this paper, we suggested Force Directed Component Placement and movement of workshops group considering material handling of workshops. In addition, we minimized the material handling cost and the purchasing land cost considering the material handling aisles.
