    Performance Evaluation of Manufacturing Product Layout Design Using PROMETHEE II - MCDM Method
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Vadivel, S.M.; Sequeira, A.H.; Kumar, V.; Chandana, V.
    The manufacturing layout of the plant was carefully analyzed in order to integrate the materials, labour, and machinery needed to process a product as efficiently as possible. The aim of this is paper is to analyze and asses the various proposed layout through Preference Ranking for Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) a MCDM algorithm. Here, we have considered three quantitative factors such as Material Flow Factor Cost (MFFC) and Shape Ratio Factor (SRF) and Area Utilization Factors (AUF); qualitative factors such as lean service, ergonomics and workplace environment. Here, the aim is to find out feasible layout in terms of enhancement in operational performance. Initially, we have created 18 alternative layout design using Computer aided Design (CAD) model. After careful analysis from the implementation point of view, we have taken only four alternative which was proper and feasible to implement. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Chennai Apartment’s (BHK) Facility Layout Design and Evaluation Using Genetic Algorithm
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Vadivel, S.M.; Sankaran, M.; Devanathan, C.; Sequeira, A.H.; Abhinav, A.
    The Apartment 2 or 3 Bedroom, Hall and Kitchen (BHK) layouts are a carefully thought-out method to incorporate home furnishings, family accommodations and extra amenities for maximizing a family member’s pleasure. Based on volume measures and inter-department distances, the flat layout problem (FLP) is an optimization problem that aims to ascertain the form and placement of different departments within a layout. One of the main techniques now employed for the optimization of these flat layouts is the CRAFT algorithm. The objective is to use this method to analyze and evaluate the many modular flat layouts that have been offered. Lowering the layout’s overall cost is the aim. The distance between the departments and the flow of humans will determine this. Additionally, an effort has been made to use GA to optimize the layout. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
