The dynamic plant layout problem (DPLP) deals with multi-period layout. Since a seminal work published in 1986 by Rosenblatt, many researchers have followed up with a number of solution methods. Among those, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing have been proposed. In this paper, we compare the performance of these algorithms in solving the DPLP.
