Abstract: The article discusses the topic of designing the optimal distribution of workstations within a production plant. A review focused on publications on this subject in the Scopus database, covering the years 1975–2017. The article presents a facility layout problem and basic principles of optimisation methods for the distribution of workstations within the factory. The author proposes a methodology for designing the optimal distribution of workstations using available optimisation methods and computer simulation. Also, directions for further research are indicated.
