Paper Title
Multi-objective Facility Layout Problem using NSGA-II

Abstract
Facility layout design has been one of the popular research areas for decades because of its practical application in both the manufacturing and service industry. Facility layout design deals with finding relative locations of the departments on the facility floor in order to optimize various objectives. In real world problems, multiple objectives need to be considered all together. This paper presents a meta-heuristic approach (NSGA-II) to find a set of optimal solutions for the facility layout problem with two objectives. The results obtained by using NSGA-II are compared to that of NSBBO available in the literature and it is observed that the proposed method performs better.
