Item Metaheuristic for Optimize the India Speed Post Facility Layout Design and Operational Performance Based Sorting Layout Selection Using DEA Method(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2020) Vadivel, S.M.; Sequeira, A.H.; Jauhar, S.K.Adoption of feasible location science is gaining more interest in the field of Facility Layout Design (FLD) problems among working researchers group. Many methods such as MCDM, Heuristics and Intelligent approaches are available to solve the FLD problems. However in reality, finding the feasible facility layout selection is subject to management as well as performances oriented selections. Here in India, speed post mail processing service industry is facing tremendous challenges like tumbling demands due to low production concern, gloomy trend in technology advancement, and fierce private couriers’ competition. Hence, the highly competitive operational performance is of much concern and attention is focused towards the direction of facility location science. This paper aims to examine the challenges of sustainable operational performance oriented layout selection by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) related to intelligent based approach, for finding the optimal total facility layout cost for a hypothetical South Indian speed post service office layout. In this paper, we used multiple-criteria facility layout selection problem using mathematical model generated with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item A novel approach for operational performance based mail sorting facility layout selection using grey relational analysis: A case on India speed post service industry(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2020) Vadivel, S.M.; Sequeira, A.H.Facility layout design (FLD) comes under multi-objective problem which has a major impact on service or manufacturing industries performance. Facility layout design purpose is to streamline the work flow smoothly and increasing the production by reducing the material handling time. An attempt has been done on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) in order to identify the feasible layout for the aids of operational performance. This FLD focuses on finding and eliminating the waste in the process flow and brings the comfortable workplace environment in order to attain the operational performance. The recommended approaches are demonstrated through practical applications in India speed post sorting facility layouts. Practical results are promising for incorporating optimal method for solving layout design problem. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
