Introduction A facility layout design is an important component of manufacturing and business projects. It is a multisided issue that includes qualitative and quantitative aspects like flexibility and the final price of materials. The article Application of an Aggregation Technique to Facility Layout Design Selection demonstrates the role of layout design in the overall performance of a company (Altuntas & Dereli, 2017). The main purpose of this paper is to summarize this article, highlighting the strategic importance of layout decisions. Summary Facility layout in manufacturing and other business projects has a significant impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall performance. One of the basic problems is to choose an appropriate location that allows incorporating in existing facilities. It requires various facility layout designs, and facility specialists together with other decision-makers have to select the best opportunity. There are different methods to rank alternative facility layout designs. However, every case is very unique. Hence, most existing approaches need to be adapted to specific circumstances and conditions. This work presents an aggregation method that allows putting facility layout design options in order. This technique is based on various traditional approaches. However, a linear programming model was used as the foundation for this method. The results of this research demonstrate the effective way for ranking alternative facility layout designs by means of the aggregation technique. Facility layouts mostly aim at arranging a given number of facilities within a specific area or location. This arrangement is very important as it has a great impact on various aspects like material flow distance, the total number of manufactured products, the time spent on producing, the efficiency of facility utilization, and some others. However, two of the most prominent issues are the lower cost of production and increasing the quality of goods and their diversity. A successful facility layout might enhance these aspects. Therefore, investors should address the problem of a facility layout at the beginning of the implementation of the project. It is the major obstacle that needs to be dealt with to ensure the effective performance of a venture in the future. This fact highlights the importance of optimal facility layout decisions as they have a direct effect on the productivity of a company. This obstacle mostly rests on the shoulders of facility engineers. They have to introduce different facility layouts due to the fact that there are various appropriate options for locating facilities. Also, there are qualitative and quantitative criteria that have to be taken into account. It makes engineers design a bigger number of alternative layouts. In order to achieve an appropriate facility layout, it is necessary to apply systematic and scientific techniques to assess all possible opportunities and put them in descending order. Relevant literature offers various solutions to a facility layout issue. Some of them are a genetic algorithm, weighted Euclidean distance-based method, synthetic immune system, and nonlinear programming model. Most of th
