Abstract: Highlights•A closed loop facility layout problem (CLLP) is studied.•A mixed-integer programming model is established for the CLLP.•A hybrid approach (iDE-EA) is proposed for the CLLP.•A hybrid coding scheme is suggested to represent a solution to the CLLP.•The iDE-EA is compared against existing approaches.
