Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of finding the optimal plant layout design. Decision-making methodologies based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach are applied in the selection of the best plant layout. New layouts are developed, in an efficient manner, based on the systematic layout planning (SLP). By using the multiple criteria, AHP is applied to weigh the qualitative performance measures. DEA is then used to determine the suitable layout design by measuring layouts' efficiency, using the information of AHP and combining with the quantitative data. The utilization of the proposed procedure is applied to a real data set of a machining precision parts manufacturing company.

“…However, there is a deviation in the ranking position. In addition, Yang and Kuo (2003), Yang and Hung (2007), and Hadi-vencheh and Mohamadghasemi (2013) applied DEA, TOPSIS and fuzzy TOPSIS, AHP-NLP respectively for the same dataset and reported that the best two layouts are A11 and A15. However, ranking of remaining layouts are different in their individual findings.…”

Abstract:The paper attempts to solve multi-criteria unequal area facility layout problem. Six criteria viz. distance, adjacency, shape ratio, flexibility, accessibility and maintenance are considered here. The unequal area facility layout is solved using a software SPIRAL where the data is taken from published literature. Several alternatives are generated by varying quantitative parameters but keeping the same objective function value. The optimal decision to select the best facility layout is decided based on six qualitative criteria. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques AHP and IRP are applied on all alternative layouts and the ranking of alternatives are obtained. In addition, weighted IRP method is also proposed to rank the available layouts. AHP-IRP and weighted IRP provide independent ranking. For optimal selection of multi-criteria unequal area facility layout, an integer linear program (ILP) and Borda-Kendall (BK) method are applied. Integer linear program and Borda-Kendall method are applied to aggregate the various rankings of facility layouts for final decision.Keywords: optimal layout; integer linear program; ILP; Borda-Kendall; BK; multi-criteria decision making; MCDM; analytic hierarchy process; AHP; interpretive ranking process; IRP; AHP-IRP; weighted IRP.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Kumar, R. and Singh, S.P.

“…An efficient layout is an important strategic planning for the maximum productivity and profitability. In the past, different approaches to solve the FLP have been adopted such as optimisation, procedural, algorithmic, and approximated (Hadi-Vencheh and Mohamadghasemi, 2013). FLP was first formulated as quadratic assignment problem (QAP) (Koopmans and Beckman, 1957;Singh and Sharma, 2008;Sharma and Singh, 2008).…”

“…Rao and Singh (2012) presented a weighted Euclidean distance-based approach (WEDBA) to find the best facility layout among the candidate facility layouts. An integrated AHP-NLP technique was proposed by Hadi-Vencheh and Mohamadghasemi (2013). Yoon et al (2013) proposed integrated AHP-VIKOR methodology to design the layout.…”
