Abstract

This paper describes a concept of computer software devoted to flexible modeling and solving facilities layout (FL) problems in logistics systems. In the beginning, a brief review of available approaches in this regard is provided. Next, diverse aspects of flexibility in designing FL are identified in the literature and discussed. These considerations constitute a background for the presentation of the system modules.
