Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2003.

This thesis addresses two distinct problems in facility design and operation. The first addresses a sequencing problem with limited flexibility. The second deals with facility layout design. A common theme to both problems is the availability of limited flexibility. In one case there is limited flexibility in how jobs can be resequenced. In the second case there is limited flexibility in how departments can be assigned to locations. In both cases, we show how this limited flexibility can be modeled and develop suitable solution procedures. For both cases, we also draw managerial insights into the value of flexibility. For the resequencing problem, sequencing flexibility is limited by how far a job can be shifted forward or backward relative to its initial position. We show how the problem can be solved using dynamic programming in polynomial time. We present a detailed study of an actual application in the automotive industry. For the layout design problem, flexibility derives from the ability to place departments of the same type in non-adjoining locations. This flexibility gives rise to a problem of joint layout and flow allocation. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer program and develop exact and heuristic solution procedures. For both the sequencing and layout problems, we present numerical results to document the solution quality and solution time of our procedures. We also provide numerical evidence to support various managerial insights. In particular, we show that in both cases flexibility can have a significant impact on performance but that the value of flexibility is of the diminishing kind.Subjects--Topical Terms:
