	%X Facility Layout Problem (FLP) is one of the essential
problems of several types of manufacturing and service sector. It is
an optimization problem on which the main objective is to obtain the
efficient locations, arrangement and order of the facilities. In the
literature, there are numerous facility layout problem research
presented and have used meta-heuristic approaches to achieve
optimal facility layout design. This paper presented genetic algorithm
to solve facility layout problem; to minimize total cost function. The
performance of the proposed approach was verified and compared
using problems in the literature.
