Critical constraints of facility layout problem for Sultanah Bahiyah Library

Facility Layout Problem (FLP) is a classical problem that widely exists in various fields. Recently, there is an increasing concern about energy saving for large-room buildings. This is because a large-room building can accommodate a large number of people at a time. Improper facility layout can aff...
