Int J Adv Manuf Technol (2014) 73:749–771 DOI 10.1007/s00170-014-5826-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE A fuzzy DEMATEL-based solution approach for facility layout problem: a case study Serkan Altuntas Hasan Selim Turkay Dereli Received: 20 August 2013 /Accepted: 31 March 2014 /Published online: 8 May 2014 # Springer-Verlag London 2014 Abstract Facility layout in production systems is a difficult Keywords Facility layout . Fuzzy DEMATEL . Machine activity since both qualitative and quantitative factors affect allocation the location decision, and also influence and causal relation- ship between these factors should be determined for a better location. In this respect, it is demonstrated in this study that 1 Introduction fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) method can effectively be used in handling fa- Facility layout is one of the most important issues for modern cility layout problems in practice. The qualitative factors that manufacturing systems [ 1]. Engineers, workers, and decision described by linguistic terms can be taken into account makers at enterprises have researched the best or appropriate through fuzzy structure of the method. Considering this, a location to establish their departments/machines or locate their fuzzy DEMATEL-based solution approach for facility layout facilities in a layout in view of the fact that their located spaces problem is proposed in this study. The proposed approach affect material flow distance, total product produced, cycle takes into account both qualitative and quantitative location time, waiting time, facility utilization, etc. Researchers classi- factors. To address the need in practice, six important location fied facility layout problem into three types, namely, st
