Abstract
This note develops a fathoming procedure for the Dynamic Plant Layout Problem (DPLP) discussed by Rosenblatt (1986) in this journal. This pr ocedure can be used to reduce the number of candidate static layouts t o be examined. An important feature of our procedure is that a feasibl e dynamic solution is not required in order to apply it. The effective ness of this procedure depends on the relative magnitude of the shifti ng costs.
