Abstract

The primary purpose of this project was to aid in the development of an optimal base camp facility layout by studying and identifying proximity relationships between essential facility components. These relationships were determined through extensive research, surveys, and interviews with key stakeholders. Three separate relationship charts were created representing the mean, median, and mode response scores from research and an online survey of critical base camp stakeholders from around the world. These charts were then used in conjunction with score and rectilinear distance matrices to organize the data for software optimization. The Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique (CRAFT) was riser to solve for a near-optimal layout for three base camps with 15 facilities. These three layouts were then compared to each other as well as standard base camps found in Theater Construction Management System (TCMS) software and Camp Bondsteel.
