现代工厂越来越重视降低物料搬运成本，这导致了对规划工艺类型布局的新方法的研究，以使这些成本最小化。该项目比较了三个高度评价的计算机算法规定的工厂布局问题的解决方案的性能与选定的人类受试者使用手动和视觉的方法仍然使用和推荐的工业工程师的工厂布局设计的性能。这种比较的目的是确定使用现有的计算机程序来解决问题，而不是通过传统的基于视觉的方法来设计布局，是否真的有优势。这些测试是在计算机系统的控制下进行的，该计算机系统准确地记录了每个受试者所获得的解决方案，这些测试不仅表明计算机算法在工厂布局的设计中并不比所选择的人类受试者表现得更好，而且表明人类受试者在没有计算机的任何规定性帮助的情况下，实际上所获得的布局比计算机程序所产生的布局更好。
Increasing emphasis on the reduction of materials handling costs in the modern plant has led to research into new methods of planning the process type layout in such a way as to minimize these costs. This project compares the performances of three highly rated computer algorithms prescribed for the solution of the plant layout problem with the performances of selected human subjects using the manual and visual methods still used and recommended by industrial engineers for plant layout design. The objective of this comparison is to determine whether there is in fact an advantage to using one of the available computer programs to solve the problem, instead of designing the layout by traditional visual-based methods. These tests, performed under the control of a computer system which accurately recorded the solutions achieved by each subject, show not only that the computer algorithms do not perform better than selected human subjects in the design of plant layouts, but that the human subjects, without the benefit of any prescriptive help from a computer, actually achieve layouts which are stochastically better than those produced by the computer programs.
