✦ Synopsis

This paper focuses on constructive graph theoretic based heuristics. We consider the facility layout problem where the objective is to maximize benefit. We briefly review the literature heuristics and present a new algorithm. Computational results, based on 600 randomly uniform generated problems, demonstrate good support for our new algorithm. We also present the performance of each algorithm when various initial solutions are applied.
