The present study deals with the selection of procedural approach for the handling of facility layout problem (FLP). Most of the designers always try to design the layout to fulfill the practical need on the shop floor in an effective way. The procedural approach is also a way to tackle the layout problems practically. It has always been a difficult decision to select the appropriate solution approach under several selected factors. In this paper, we have demonstrated a selection of the best procedural approach for the FLP with some selected factors. In this context, we have considered some important factors such as initial data required (IDR), use of charts (UC), use of graphs and diagrams (UGD), future expansion considered (FEC), constraints considered (CC), procedure implementation (PI), and material handling equipment selection consideration (MHC). Modified digital logic (MDL) is used to assign weight to the selected factors. Fuzzy logic-based multiple attribute decision making (MADM) approach is applied for the selection. The Muther’s approach is found to be the most suitable alternative with the selected factors.
