Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Here's a comprehensive overview of quantitative methods for facility layout and location, in contrast to the widely used qualitative methods. The facility layout and location problems are treated together and viewed as a "layout problem in the large," since problems of single facilities and systems of facilities have much in common. The book offers a thorough introduction to the field's issues and literature, along with the basic tools and methodologies involved.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The plant layout problem -- Computerized layout planning -- Planar single-facility location problems -- Storage systems layout -- Planar multifacility location problems -- Network location problems -- Cyclic network location problems -- Advanced discrete location models.
