Application of a hybrid MCDM method in construction logistics

Construction industry is one of the world leading industries that is why optimizing itsprocesses is indispensable. Layout planning is an essential and determinative task of constructionlogistics. This paper is devoted to this problem and it is organized as follows: a chapter unfolds thecriteria of site layout planning considered relevant by the authors. Then survey is conducted on Multicriteriadecision making (MCDM), fuzzy theory and their construction related researches. Next theauthors propose a new method which is appropriate for solving the layout selection problem inconstruction sites, based on the mixture of hesitant fuzzy sets and well-known KIPA method, calledHFS-KIPA. After the detailed description of the technique and its advantages, it is illustrated with anexample taken from a close related article. Finally, results and future research directions aresummarized
