The branch and bound algorithm are implemented to optimally find the cells to be assigned for the projects. Costs are calculated in Excel and an optimal layout is developed in the facility according to the distances and the material handling costs information provided by the company. Moreover a decision support system is developed to display a flexible facility layout design for a project-based production system which provides insight for the managers to decide the locations of packaging machine production cells. The locations of the projects to the manufacturing cells are determined by using the algorithms and models using the Python and OPL CPLEX 12.10 Optimization Studio software. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
