Abstract: Here, a review of the research papers on the facility layout problem is being presented. Various facility layout papers on meta-heuristic and the other approaches are summarised along with their objectives, solution approaches and their results thereof. The recent developments and future scope of facility layout problems have been considered and mapped in this research paper. In various research papers considered, a trend is observed that multiobjective approaches have been consciously considered for facility layout problems and design rectifications. The hybrid approach is found to be the most favoured and considered solution to current problems as well as initiating a systematic approach for future after due consideration of some specific objective functions which still need to be consider while designing future layouts.
