A heuristic method for large-scale multi-facility location problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Heuristic Methods Based on MINLP Formulation for Reliable Capacitated Facility Location Problems
This paper addresses a reliable facility location problem with considering facility capacity constraints. In reliable facility location problem some facilities may become unavailable from time to time. If a facility fails, its clients should refer to other facilities by paying the cost of retransfer to these facilities. Hence, the fail of facilities leads to disruptions in facility location dec...
متن کاملA Multi-Exchange Heuristic for the Single-Source Capacitated Facility Location Problem
This paper presents a very large scale neighborhood (VLSN) search algorithm for the capacitated facility location problem with single-source constraints. The neighborhood structures are induced by customer multi-exchanges and by facility moves. We consider both single-customer multi-exchanges, detected on a suitably de ned customer improvement graph, and multi-customer multi-exchanges, detected...
متن کاملTwo Strategies Based on Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP)
Proper arrangement of facility layout is a key issue in management that influences efficiency and the profitability of the manufacturing systems. Parallel Row Ordering Problem (PROP) is a special case of facility layout problem and consists of looking for the best location of n facilities while similar facilities (facilities which has some characteristics in common) should be arranged in a row ...
متن کاملMulti-objective evolutionary algorithms for a preventive healthcare facility network design
Preventive healthcare aims at reducing the likelihood and severity of potentially life-threatening illnesses by protection and early detection. In this paper, a bi-objective mathematical model is proposed to design a network of preventive healthcare facilities so as to minimize total travel and waiting time as well as establishment and staffing cost. Moreover, each facility acts as M/M/1 queuin...
