A problem evolution algorithm with linear programming for the dynamic facility layout problem—A general layout formulation

•The problem evolution algorithm (PEA) is developed to solve the Facility Layout Problem (FLP).•The PEA-LP works very well in solving various FLP benchmark problems.•A polyhedral inner-approximation is proposed for the nonlinear department area constraints.•Two symmetry-breaking constraints are intr...
