ABSTRACT
The most significant objective of any enterprise has always been the maximum utilisation of facilities available to achieve the desired goal of productivity and profitability. Facility layout deals with the selection of the most appropriate and effective arrangements of departments, and utilities on the open continual plane to allow a greater working efficiency. Owing to the complex and unstructured nature of facility layout, many researchers have proposed various approaches which have not been perfectly successful
