Abstract: There is a trend in the research of facilities planning away from single-objective facilitieslayout techniques to multiple-objective methods. In this spirit, we introduce a new way ofrecognizing the multi-criteria nature of layout design. We integrate the Analytic HierarchyProcess with a graph theoretic-based DSS for producing a scaled block plan. The paper alsoreports on the application of this approach in designing the layout of an actual municipalbuilding. The paper provides an illustration of effective modeling in industrial engineering.
