Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to propose an integrated approach of simulation, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) for facility layout design improvement and optimization. Computer simulation has been used to determine quantitative measures. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has also been used to determine the weight of qualitative measures for layout alternatives. Non equal weights have been derived with respect to the quantitative and qualitative criteria. QFD has been used to determine weights of criteria and the importance of the alternatives in relation to quantitative and qualitative measures. Finally, Topsis approach has been used for ranking the alternatives and identifying the best alternative. The results imply that the proposed methodology is more reliable compared to existing approaches. In addition, the methodology requires managers' concentration on Facility Layout Problem (FLP). This paper provides organizations a way to devise and refine adequate criteria and alleviate the risk of selecting optimal solutions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
