Simple methods for uncapacitated facility location/allocation problems
针对无容量限制的设施选址/分配问题,提出了三种简单启发式方法,分别处理无固定成本、有固定成本和多时期情形,并附有示例,便于未受优化训练的管理者理解和使用。
Abstract Facility location/allocation problems are encountered in many different areas of management science. The methods presented in the literature are complex and are not easily understood by practitioners who are not trained in the techniques of optimization. Simple heuristic methods are presented in this article. The methods are developed for three different types of uncapacitated problems: (1) unlimited facility capacity with no fixed cost; (2) unlimited facility capacity with a fixed cost for assignment; (3) multiperiod problems. Examples are included to illustrate the basic methods.
