在台灣政府鼓勵下，使台灣的薄膜電晶體液晶顯示器（Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display，TFT-LCD）產業蓬勃發展，然而目前全球化競爭激烈，顧客需求波動大且難以預測，對於TFT-LCD製造商而言，提升生產系統的效率，是重要議題。
精實生產系統（Lean Production System）是從定義顧客價值開始，由顧客需求拉動生產，達到消除浪費、持續改善、追求效率、生產力以及品質的理想生產系統。然而施行精實改善手法必須建構在良好設施佈置（Facility Layout）上，以避免許多浪費隱藏在佈置中，生產者可透過將生產流程以群組方式形成單元工程（Cell），達到減少換模時間、減少物流距離、降低週期時間等目標，因此本研究主要目的為提供導入單元工程的設施佈置規劃流程，並以模糊多屬性方法評選設施佈置方案。
本研究之設施規劃流程是以Muther（1973）提出的「系統化佈置規劃程序」（Systematic Layout Planning，SLP）為基礎，並結合Rother and Harris（2001）撰寫的《Cerating Continuous Flow》一書中單元工程佈置原則，作為本論文設施規劃流程。在評估佈置方案部分，為了使分析更加完善，同時考量多項績效指標，因此使用系統模擬結合模糊多屬性決策分析程序。
最後將設施佈置程序應用至一個實際案例，設計數個設施佈置方案，並分析在不同生產環境考量下選擇的設施佈置方案，以提供給設施佈置執行者一個參考方向。

With the assistance of the Taiwan Government, the TFT-LCD industry in Taiwan is getting more flourished. However, the TFT-LCD industry faced the problem of volatile and unpredictable customer’s demand. The demand on larger panel size, high resolution, low cost, high quality and good service are all need to be concerned. Thus, how to enhance the production efficiency of production systems becomes an import issue.
Lean Production System is using pull production for customer's needs. To achieve an ideal production system with continuous improvement, efficiency, productivity, good quality, the system begins with defining customer's value.
Adopting lean production methods should based on a well-designed facility layout to avoid the waste which hidden in facility layout. Manufacturers can group production procedure into cell to achieve the goal of set up time reduction, moving distance reduction and cycle time reduction. Thus, the main purpose of this research provides a facility layout planning procedure using cell. Besides, we adopt fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making method to evaluate facility layout alternatives.
The facility layout planning procedure in this research adopts Systematic Layout Planning（Muther, 1973）and the concept of Creating Continuous Flow（Rother and Harris, 2001）. In order to evaluate facility alternatives well, we consider multiple performance index by simulation and fuzzy multi-attribute decision making methods.
Finally, we use the facility layout planning procedure on a real-world case study to design several facility alternatives and suggest appropriate alternatives in different production situations. These suggestions can provide facility designers some findings and results.
