SITE LAYOUT PLANNING USING NONSTRUCTURAL FUZZY DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
Site layout planning (SLP) can affect productivity and is crucial to project success. However, as construction is heterogeneous in the nature of its organizations, project designs, time constraints, and environmental effects, SLP for each project becomes unique. Affected by many uncertainties and variations, SLP is a typical multiobjective problem. To facilitate the decisionmaking process for these problems, a nonstructural fuzzy decision support system (NSFDSS) is proposed in this paper. NSFDSS integrates both experts' judgment and computer decision modeling, making it suitable for the appraisal of complicated construction problems. The system allows for assessments based on pairwise comparisons of alternatives using semantic operators that can provide a reliable assessment result even under the condition of insufficient precise information.
