Abstract :
This paper presents a capacitated location/allocation model to minimize the cost of allocating capacitated facilities. Genetic algorithm is employed to guide solution procedure in order to yield more satisfactory results. Computational experiment is conducted to validate the proposed approach based upon the datasets extracted from the real applications.
