A new hybrid heuristic algorithm based on bacterial foraging optimization for the dynamic facility layout problem
作者：
Highlights：
• Dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP) is a NP-Hard problem.
• This study introduces the use of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) for the DFLP.
• The paper proposes a new hybrid heuristic algorithm to solve the DFLP.
• In the study, BFO's applicability to the DFLP is shown.
• Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
