A heuristic method for large-scale multi-facility location problems
A heuristic method for solving large-scale multi–facility location problems is presented. The method is analogous to Cooper’s method [3], using the authors’ single facility location method [20] as a parallel subroutine, and reassigning customers to facilities using the heuristic of Nearest Center Reclassification. Numerical results are reported.
متن کاملAn effective heuristic for large-scale capacitated facility location problems
The Capacitated Facility Location Problem (CFLP) consists of locating a set of facilities with capacity constraints to satisfy the demands of a set of clients at the minimum cost. In this paper we propose a simple and effective heuristic for largescale instances of CFLP. The heuristic is based on a Lagrangean relaxation which is used to select a subset of “promising” variables forming the core ...
متن کاملA model for distribution centers location-routing problem on a multimodal transportation network with a meta-heuristic solving approach
Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could take advantages of different transportation modes. Accordingly, the present paper addresses a location-r...
متن کاملA Versatile Heuristic Approach for Generalized Hub Location Problems
The usability of hub location models heavily depends on an appropriate modelling approach for the economies of scale. Realistic hub location models require more sophisticated transport cost structures than the traditional α-discount. We develop a general modelling scheme for such problems allowing the definition of complicated (non-linear) costs and constraints; its structure allows an abstract...
متن کاملA Holistic Approach Based on MCDM for Solving Location Problems
Location decision is an integral part of organizational strategies involving many factorsthat may be conflicting in nature. This paper presents a holistic approach of the multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) methodology to select the optimal location(s), which fits best for both investors andmanagers. A case study is also provided to illustrate the application of the proposed holistic approach....
