Figure 6.8. Initial Layout of Cell 1 The optimum sequence method starts with an arbitrary initial solution and tries to improve the layout by switching two departments in the sequence. At each step the method computes the cost changes for all possible switches of two departments and chooses the most effective pair. The two departments are switched in sequence and the method repeats. The process stops when no switch results in a reduced cost. The optimized facility information and layout have been shown
