Verification of the layout technique applied to the refinery and petrochemical plant a heuristic algorithm to solve the large size facility layout problem to treat the unequal size departments

摘要

In the previous paper, a layout technique (CARD-SA) to solve the large size facility layout problem was proposed. In this paper, the CARD-SA is applied to the refinery and petrochemical plant problem. The stock and flow data of the problem is same with the existing plant data, and several realistic constraints are considered. The number of equipment to assign is over 100, and the difference of each equipment size is very large.
