VIP-PLANOPT Description

The key issue in Facility Layout Problem is to optimize the layout with "Hard" modules. Hard modules have user-specified dimensions. In most real-world applications, it is preferable to obtain optimal layouts for modules of user-specified dimensions to obtain the maximum functionality from each module. VIP-PLANOPT produces optimal or near-optimal layouts satisfying this requirement. It can optimize with hard modules that may be “movable” or “anchored” at user-specified locations. In addition, VIP-PLANOPT provides the user with the flexibility of mixing Hard modules with “Soft” modules that have user-specified area but variable dimensions. VIP-PLANOPT offers maximum flexibility for solving real-world problems through several capabilities e.g. module-padding, module-flipping, pick-up & drop-off points, composite shape boundary, upper bounds on inter-department distances, forbidden-area modeling, etc. With ongoing research and new ideas, VIP-PLANOPT is continually advancing on its superiority for Industrial Applications. At the same time it has known as a benchmark FLP software and for the educational institutions it has established itself as an excellent and affordable Teaching & Research aid.
