Facility location problem on a network under multiple criteria—fuzzy set theoretic approach

Abstract

The investigation deals with the optimal location of a number p of facilities at the nodes of a given network under multiple criteria. The 0–1 algorithm is used to generate the set of non-dominated solutions. A fuzzy set theoretic methodology is used for specifying the preferred solution from the set of non-dominated solutions. The solution procedure is illustrated with the help of a numerical example.
