Abstract
This work proposes an analytical approach to optimize the transfer project of existing industrial plants in new productive locations. This means to transport in new sites the same functional characteristics that plants have in the original one. The impracticality to move existing plants, shifts the problem into define a transferring project, regarding constraints and opportunities related the execution of two strongly specular phases. The aim is an algorithmic procedure which, selecting the main components of a plant, determines and optimizes the transfer global cost, as function of the parameters characterizing the three different project phases; disassembling, transporting and reassembling. The core is constituted by an iterative structure which, starting from an analytical description plant's , integrates the loading and transport phases, estimating at the same time the best level of disassembly sequences and the loading efficiency and plant's reduction. Those evaluations allow to optimize the overall cost of the project.
