A SDV-MOORA Approach for Ranking Facility Locations

The suitability of a specific location for proposed facility operations depends largely on what location factors are selected and evaluated as well as their potential impact on corporate objectives and operations. Facility location problem is a typical Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem which involves many conflicting attributes. In this paper we try to tackle this well known problem by combining the Standard Deviation to allocate the weights, then combining the proposed method to Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) technique. An international company's facility location problem of a new manner is illustrated. The new approach so-called SDV-MOORA is employed to solve the MCDM problem. [Mohamed F. El-Santawy and Ramadan A.
