Abstract

Facilities layout ranks as one of the most important problem in industrial engineering. It is usual to assume that the facilities of some system are to be laid on a fiat region such as a factory floor or building site. This paper discusses how to draw up the Relationship Diagram which holds an important position in the technique of the layout planning. This developed algorithm eliminates any trial and error in the existing algorithm of drawing up the Relationship Diagram using the property of “Suuryouka-Yonrui”.
