Abstract :
In this paper, we investigate the Single-Source Capacitated Multi-Facility Weber Problem. The aim is to locate several new facilities among existing customers and simultaneously allocate customers to the facilities. A Genetic Algorithm is proposed for solving the problem, in which a local search method is embedded. The proposed Genetic Algorithm is tested on existing data sets to evaluate its robustness over available methods in the literature.
