Abstract :
On the basis of an analysis of existing location methods, this paper proposes two location models for physical distribution centers with genetic algorithms (GAs): one is based on the transport model (TGA), the other is based on the alternate location-allocation (ALA) method (AGA). Experimental results prove that both of these models have better performance than the general ALA method
