Flexibility, quick responses to changes, and capacity to respond to external factors are strategies that companies must develop to ensure their continuity and face adverse situations. The flexibility that can be acquired by optimizing plant layout and resilience ensures continuity of production by reducing adverse external shocks. This article synthesizes critical elements used in models to solve facility layout problems, followed by analyzing the resilience variables and factors most frequently applied in the industry. A systematic literature review to achieve this objective was developed, including 170 articles published in 2010 and 2021. Its study was performed through the Atlas.ti software, an analysis of the 4W's (i.e., When, Who, What, and Where) was applied, and finally, answers to three research questions posed were given. Growth in the scientific interest of facility layout problems can be observed in the last five years, especially for dynamic problems and unequal areas, development of multi-objective models, and approach to metaheuristic solutions. Eventually, research gaps were also identified, highlighting the lack of inclusion of resilience factors in plant distribution models.
