Facility-location problems have several applications in telecommunications, industrial transportation and distribution, etc. One of the most well-known facility-location problems is the p-median problem. This work addresses an application of the capacitated p-median problem to a real-world problem. We propose a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the capacitated pmedian problem. The proposed GA use...

The efficient design/redesign of the logistics network is essential for companies to maintain their competitive advantage. This paper presents a novel non-linear mixedinteger programming model for the multi-product capacitated location routing inventory problem (MPCLRIP), where a two-layer distribution system consisting of depots and customers was studied. The supply decisions such as location ...

The uncapacitated facility location problem ( UFLP) involves locating an undetermined number of facilities to minimize the sum of the (annualized) fixed setup costs and the variable costs of serving the market demand from these facilities. UFLP is also known as the “simple” facility location problem SFLP, where both the alternative facility locations and the customer zones are considered discre...
