Description
Summary:Location Allocation is one of the most important decision making problems, which attracted many operational researchers during recent decades and many solution procedures are developed so far to cope with this problem. This paper proposes a new graph theory based method to cope with small size capacitated location allocation problems. Additionally, a genetic algorithm is utilized to solve medium and large scale problems. Finally, through some computational experiments, the quality and capability of these algorithms are shown.
