Planar Multifacility Location - the Location-Allocation Problem
Original language description
The contribution is concerned with a common case of a location-allocation problem, which involves both the location of distribution centres or warehouses and an allocation of customers to warehouses. Warehouses receive products from production plants anddistribute them to customers such as retail or wholesale outlets. The well-known Weiszfeld algorithm was adapted for sequentially increasing number of warehouses until adding of another warehouse is advantageous from transport cost standpoint. The basiccriterion for decision is minimizing of the freight cost, but increasing expenses of product stocks are considered as well. Distances between warehouses and customers are given by a suitable two-dimensional metric corresponding to the network of routes.Location of customers is given by means of either geographical information systems or GPS system.
