Developing a Facility Layout optimization method using Mathematical Modeling (Case Study: Pooya Khodro Shargh)

This paper designs a mathematical model for facility location using integer programming methods tosolve optimization problems. . This study first evaluates the Pooya Khodro Shargh company, examining the length and width of the department and the frequency of material flow between departments. Optimization is an approach which finds the best possible answer to a question for existing constraints. This paper expands the Nordin model to minimize the total flow and distance from a department to other departments, according to the objective function. The distance is measured from the center of departments in a straight line.
