| Abstract | The sweeping propensity of merging the economies together into the regional markets or
farther, a global market has made the increasing severity of competition inevitable. In such
circumstances, the issue of facility layout emerged as the means and the end to help set up
from scratch or enhance adaptive capability of an organization without recourse to excessive
investment.
Many models and algorithms have been developed so far to find out the optimal solution to
facility layout problems. However, they are too complex to solve analytically to a satisfactory
extent. In light of the advent of computer plus the advantages of simulation technique, there
exists a tendency to exploit these powerful tools for the layout problems. The application
requires the participation of both analyst and decision maker with the support of some
available softwares and allows an evaluation of multi-criterion as wishful thinking.
This thesis focuses on establishing the simulated model of current layout of a jobshop in
Vietnam using an object-oriented simulation package. This model next is the basis to build ยท
and then to choose the best layout among the Group-Technology-based alternatives, having
preliminarily been screened beforehand with a popular layout software. |
