The conventional approaches for facility location problems like locational cost volume
analysis, factor rating, and center of gravity method (Stevenson, 1993) tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of the linguistic assessment (Kahraman et al., 2003). In real life, the evaluation data of plant location suitability for various subjective criteria and the weights of the criteria are usually expressed in linguistic terms. And also, to efficiently resolve the ambiguity frequently arising in available information and do more justice to the essential fuzziness in human judgment and preference, the fuzzy set theory has been used to establish an ill defined multiple criteria decision-making problems (Liang, 1999). Thus in this paper, fuzzy TOPSIS method is proposed for facility location selection, where the ratings of various alternative locations under various subjective criteria and the weights of all criteria are represented by fuzzy numbers.
