Abstract: Evaluation and selection of concrete production facility location is an important strategic decision making problem for both public and private sector. The multi-dimensional, multi-criteria nature of the concrete production facility location problem limits the usefulness of any particular single objective model. In this study, social, economical, technological, environmental and transportation factors and sub criteria, have been derived to make the optimal concrete production facility location selection decision more realistic and effectual. In this paper, an improved and more appropriate concrete production facility location evaluation and selection model has been developed by integrating Modified Delphi Method (MDM) with Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). A numerical example is presented to show applicability and performance of the proposed methodology followed by a sensitivity analysis to discuss and explain the results.
