ABSTRACT:
A two-step method is disclosed that enables in the first step to optimize facilities layout on the scale of miles with regard to, among others, population density and that enables in the second step to optimize intrafacilities layout on the scale of feet with regard to, among others, population density using non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) matrices in both the first and second steps.
