Based on comprehensive consideration of stochastic factors and the system performance, we presented an integrated queuing network model(IQNM) to effectively optimize the facility layout of the multi-floor flow shop(MFFS). In this paper, the arrival interval and service times of the workstations are described by the two-moment approximation method, and an iterative algorithm is proposed for estimating the system performance, including the mean throughput, work-in-process(WIP) and sojourn time. In the design process, an optimization model with the throughput and cycle time constraint is established, while the minimize transportation cost is taken as the objective function. After several iterations between system performance and optimization objective, the facility layout problem(FLP) of the MFFS is solved, which takes the maximize throughput and minimize cycle time as the constraint condition. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a series of numerical experiments. The average error of system throughput is 2.11%. And the sojourn time errors are less than 5% when SCV = 1.5. Therefore, this research can provide relevant theoretical support for the facility layout of the MFFS.
