An application of corelap algoritm to improve the utilization space of the classroom

Abstract

The high demand of the room due to the increasing number of students requires the addition of the room The limited number of rooms, the price of land and the cost of building expensive infrastructure requires effective and efficient use of the space. The facility layout redesign is done using the Computerized Relationship Planning (CORELAP) algorithm based on total closeness rating (TCR). By calculating the square distance between the departments based on the coordinates of the central point of the department. The distance obtained is multiplied by the material current from the From-to chart matrix. The analysis is done by comparing the total distance between the initial layout and the proposed layout and then viewing the activities performed in each room. The results of CORELAP algorithm processing gives an increase of room usage efficiency equal to 14, 98% from previous activity.
