APPROACHES OF LAYOUT DESIGN SYNTHESIS FOR INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

Paper is focused to methodology approaches of layout design problems in mechatronic facilities such as IMS. For a long time, engineering design research has been focused on the development of various design theories, methodologies, methods, tools, and procedures. Engineers to more efficiently design artefacts have subsequently used that design methods. However, as the artefacts have grown in complexity, the need for new methods has become obvious. Also, in a nowadays world, increased competition and globalisation require organizations to re-examine traditional product development strategies. While the difficulties in design synthesis are caused by a wide variety of issues, the complicatedness under problem size is so essential that it make procedural design knowledge insufficient to generate superior design solutions.
