In Example 5.1 , a solution to the single-row layout problem was generated using MST. Apply
2-opt algorithm to improve the solution (if possible). What is the new OFV?

 

Example 5.1 Using the following flow data for six machines and their lengths in Figure 5.1, develop a layout using the MST algorithm. Assume that the clearance between each pair of machines must be at least 2 meters. Solution Step 1: First, compute the adjacency weight matrix [C] as in Figure 5.2, where -d, +0.5+1)). Step 2: Find the largest element and connect machines 1 and 6. Set ---- Step 3: Select the largest elements, and, in rows 1 and 6, respectively. Because f select arbitrarily. Connect 2 to 1 and remove row 1 and column 1 from matrix II. Set --- Step 4: Because all machines are not connected yet, repeat step 3. Repeating the aforementioned steps, we see that machine 4 is connected to machine 6, machine 3 is connected to machine 4, and machine 5 is connected to machine 2 in subsequent steps. A layout generated for this sequence is shown in Figure 5.3.
