Abstract

One of the themes on Layout Planning relates to the evaluation of proximity between activities which are objects to be laid out. This paper proposed the way to evaluate proximity. The characteristic of this way is: It considers intangible factors by using SUURYOUKA-SANRUI, and Proximity have integrated weight and evaluation values. The weight is calculated based on the theory of AHP. The proposed method was applied to a practical layout and its effectiveness is shown in this paper.
