摘要：
A user-friendly, menu-driven decision support system (DSS) for facilities layout design is described. It provides for the choice between a variety of productivity criteria. The system is written in Pascal, within the Microsoft Windows environment, for an MS-DOS personal computer. A case study, involving the successful use of the system which motivated its development, is also mentioned. The system provides a useful addition to the facilities planner's toolkit and an interesting application of the DSS approach in a new area. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
