N2  - The sweeping propensity of merging the economies together into the regional markets or  farther, a global market has made the increasing severity of competition inevitable. In such  circumstances, the issue of facility layout emerged as the means and the end to help set up  from scratch or enhance adaptive capability of an organization without recourse to excessive  investment.  Many models and algorithms have been developed so far to find out the optimal solution to  facility layout problems. However, they are too complex to solve analytically to a satisfactory  extent. In light of the advent of computer plus the advantages of simulation technique, there  exists a tendency to exploit these powerful tools for the layout problems. The application  requires the participation of both analyst and decision maker with the support of some  available softwares and allows an evaluation of multi-criterion as wishful thinking.  This thesis focuses on establishing the simulated model of current layout of a jobshop in  Vietnam using an object-oriented simulation package. This model next is the basis to build ·  and then to choose the best layout among the Group-Technology-based alternatives, having  preliminarily been screened beforehand with a popular layout software.
