An Approach Integrating Simulated Annealing and Variable Neighborhood Search for the Bidirectional Loop Layout Problem

In the bidirectional loop layout problem (BLLP), we are given a set of machines, a set of locations arranged in a loop configuration, and a flow cost matrix. The problem asks to assign machines to locations so as to minimize the sum of the products of the flow costs and distances between machines. T...
