In this study, we promoted facility layout planning by taking dynamic environments as an alternate strategy to contribute to supply chain sustainability. Yet despite the popularity of this topic among researchers in the operations management field, we found that knowledge gaps still have to be bridged regarding the balanced inclusion of the dimensions making up the so-called triple bottom line. To date, the scientific community's contributions to decision making in the DFLP context have concentrated primarily on the economic dimension of sustainability, and on the social dimension to a lesser extent. We found no explicit mention of the environmental dimension in the reviewed literature. The DFLP deals with the search for a set of feasible facility layouts through multiple time periods by minimizing the materials handling and rearrangement costs. To our knowledge reaches, since Moslemipour et al. [24], there has not been published any literature review focused on DFLP. Thus, this study has presented a literature review on the DFLP considering a time window from Sustainability 2020, 12, 8277 12 of 16 2010 to 2019. Furthermore, we depicted to what extent recent research in the DFLP context has contributed to supply chain sustainability by addressing its three dimensions of performance.
