he optimization of train containers layout plays an important role in the shop floor. There is a need tooptimize the proper location and size of the containers yard. In this paper a technique is developed to optimize the size ofthe container block. When a trucks comes to pick up the block there should be an optimal distance travelled by the truck.In this paper a model is developed to minimize the distance travelled by the internal truck. The objective function is thedistance travelled by the truck. The aim is to increase the efficiency of the terminal. A mathematical model is developedin this research paper to optimize the distance travelled by the truck. The model is solved in Mat-Lab and theoptimization technique used in this research paper is Genetic algorithm. The model is also checked in the C languageand the result is compared from both the programming language. This model is not generic and can be extended forother applications.The results of this study shows how an infidel factor such as block storage capacity, yard layout by taking into accountthe internal truck performance, etc. can improve the efficiency of container yard terminal
