• This article presents a new construction algorithm for computer – aided plant layout. A case study is an assembly plant which will be expanded to construct a new plant. The layouts are generated by ALDEP and Adjacency – Based Heuristic that are evaluated by the maximize adjacency – based objective. The solution will be developed on the basis of mathematical expressions that can be evaluated objectively. For the results, found that the layout generated from Adjacency – Based Heuristic has the layout score better than the layout is generated by ALDEP, and Adjacency – Based Heuristic can generate the material handling distance less than the layout is generated by ALDEP.
