Abstract: Abstract Volatility of manufacturing environments decreases the performance of the system by degrading the efficiency and effectiveness of the layout. In this paper, in order to simulate the effects of variability of demand of products on the layout of facilities in a cellular manufacturing system (CMS), a triangular stochastic facility layout model in a CMS has been developed. To validate the model, two solution approaches have been applied; a developed enumeration method, and also Lingo 12.0 optimization software. Solving the model for a case shows that variation in demand of products may lead to a change in the layout of the facilities.
