Abstract
Due to restricted energy resources, energy efficiency which was always ignored over the past decades becomes a significant challenge for many factories. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate energy relevant criteria with traditional criteria in the layout planning phase. The proposed approach employs a hybrid approach which integrates analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference ranking organization methods for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) with the purpose of solving a facility layout problem (FLP). The AHP is used to determine the weights for each criterion and PROMETHEE is applied to get the final ranking. Finally, a case study is used to validate the proposed approach.
