    ALDEP is an automated layout design program that takes basic facility and department data as input and builds a layout by successively placing departments based on their relationship information and minimum closeness preferences. It uses a multi-step procedure to initially place departments randomly and then select subsequent departments to maximize closeness according to a relationship chart. The program outputs the final layout and calculates a total score based on the closeness ratings of neighboring departments.

    AUTOMATED LAYOUT DESIGN PROGRAM (ALDEP)

    ALDEP is basically a construction algorithm, but it can also be used to evaluate two layouts
    It uses basic data on facilities & builds a layout by successively placing the layout using relationship information b/w the departments

    Procedure Adapted for using ALDEP : Step#2: One department is selected randomly & placed in the layout Step#3: In this step, the algorithm uses minimum closeness required b/w departments for the selection of departments to be placed with an earlier placed department. Select the department having maximum closeness rating. If there is no department having minimum closeness preference then any dept that remains to be placed is selected

    Procedure Adapted for using ALDEP : Step#4: If all the departments are placed in the layout, go to step#5. else go to step#3 Step#5: Compute the total score of the layout Step#6: If the total score required is acceptable score, then go to step#7, else go to step#2 Step#7: Print the current layout & the corresponding score

    ALDEP: ILLUSTRATIVE Example


    Example 2: Develop a layout for the following problem. Layout & area requirements are shown in Table2.1
    Department 1 2 Area (sq.ft) 1200 800 No. of unit squares 30 20

    3
    4 5 6

    600
    1200 800 1200

    15
    30 20 30

    7
    Total

    1200
    7000

    30
    175

    Table.2.1
    25/03/2013 lec no. 13 & 14 6

    ALDEP: ILLUSTRATIVE Example


    Solution: Assume One square in the layout to be equal 40 sq.ft.
    No. of unit squares for dept = dept.area in sq.ft/area per square Let the size of layout be 15x12, & the sweep width be 2 (this means that we will fill 2 columns simultaneously). The Relationship chart for the example is follows:
    Department 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    25/03/2013

    1 E O I O U U

    2 E U E I I U

    3 O U U U O U
    lec no. 13 & 14

    4 I E U I U U

    5 O I U I A I

    6 U I O U A E

    7 U U U U I E
    7

    ALDEP: ILLUSTRATIVE Example


    Solution: Let department 2 be selected. Number of unit squares in dept 1 be 20. now 20 square units are filled in 15 x 12 grid as shown in table2.2 Since minimum closeness b/w departments required for selection of department is I=4 Scan the relationship chart randomly to find the departments having closeness rating of 4 or greater with department 2

    ALDEP: ILLUSTRATIVE Example


    Solution: For the above case closeness rating for the pairs (1-2)=16, (2-5)=4, & (2-6)=4 Select any dept, say dept 1. Place dept 1 in the layout in a serpentine pattern as shown in table 2.3 Repeat the above procedure to get the final layout as shown in table 2.4
    25/03/2013 lec no. 13 & 14 9

    ALDEP: ILLUSTRATIVE Example


    Solution: After the final layout is obtained, the score is calculated. The score is the sum of the closeness ratings of all the neighboring departments, see table 2.5 From the above layout the score is 2 x110 = 220 A further iteration should be carried out to check if a better score can be achieved
