Abstract: As a case study for building a production shop in a company, the systematic layout planning (SLP) method is used to design the shop. By analyzing both the material and non-material flow with necessary constraints and interactions taken into account, three candidate facility layout solutions are proposed. Then, the best one is selected by using analytic hierarchy process technique. It is shown that the result is satisfactory.

Key words: facility layout, systematic layout planning, analytic hierarchy process
