loading and unloading operations are frequent and important in the production workshop. Thus, this paper proposes a novel double-row layout problem, which involves the location planning of material loading and unloadingpoints of the facility in the layout;It needs to solve the sequence and precise coordinates of facilities with safety clearance to ensure the safety of the layout. Subsequently, a mixed-integer programming model and an improved discrete differential evolution algorithm with linear programming are developed to minimize material handling costs. The algorithm includes four efficient operations in optimization: the annealing mech-anism, random strategy, variable neighborhood search strategy, and double-threshold termination mode. Thereafter, compared with the computational results of benchmark cases, the validity of the model and the efficiency of the algorithm are verified. In the basic problem, the calculation results of the algorithm are compared with many algorithms in the literature, and the algorithm still performs well. Finally, the algorithm is applied to solve the reducer workshop and provides a better layout scheme.
