The problem of facility layout planning has always been the focus of production logistics for the enterprise. In recent years, with the development of intelligent manufacturing, improvement of material processing efficiency, reduction of the materials storage time and increasement of the production efficiency have become more and more important, and a good facility layout design can help to realize them. The facility layout planning is one of the most critical parts among the production logistics for factories. This paper first puts forward the common problems of facility layout in factories, and then introduce facility layout problems and some solution methods, finally give some suggestions of facility layout in factories.
