A Multiple-criteria Facility Layout Model Considering the Function for Maintaining the Distance between Facilities

설비간(設備間) 거리유지(距離維持) 기능(機能)을 고려(考慮)한 다기준(多基準) 설비배치(設備配置) 모델

A multiple criteria model for the facility layout problem considers both of the quantitative, the cost of the work flow, and qualitative, the closeness rating score, aspect. Rosenblatt, Fortenberry & Cox and Urban have developed multiple criteria models that consider both of the quantitative and qualitative aspect. Fortenberry & Cox's multiplicity model penalizes facilities with undesirable closeness rating and high work flows more than those undesirable closeness rating and low work flow between them to contribute to the objective function regardless of the closeness rating between these facilities. In this paper, it is intended to develops a improved multiple-criteria facility layout model considering the function for maintaning the distance between facilities.
