Abstract
In this article, a methodology for creating a preliminary optimal layout design of shipyard production areas is proposed. The methodology is based on the implementation of a specifically defined procedure which is composed of following actions: establishing the closeness relationships of the chosen production areas from the shipbuilding process technological point of view, based upon a survey of relevant experts; thereupon the generation and valuation of all possible production layout variants within the shipyard is performed using SLP method; after establishing a representative number of most competitive variants, the selection of optimal variant is performed by using the hierarchical modeling with AHP method; at the end the sensitivity analysis is made in order to check the stability of the chosen layout of production areas. Proposed methodology is applied on real problem of shipyard layout design optimization.
