Combined Single-Source and Multi-source Capacitated Facility Location Problems with Data Envelopment Analysis

Abstract EN

In this paper, we incorporate an efficiency criterion using data envelopment analysis into the single-source and multi-source capacitated facility location problems.

We develop two bi-objective integer programs to find optimal and efficient location patterns, simultaneously.

The proposed models for these capacitated facility location problems have fewer variables and constraints compared to existing models presented in the literature.

We use the LP-metric procedure to solve the proposed models on two numerical examples.

Results show that new models give better solutions, based on cost and efficiency criteria.
