Abstract :

This paper designs a mathematical model for facility location using integer programming methods tosolve optimization problems. . This study first evaluates the Pooya Khodro Shargh company,examining the length and width of the department and the frequency of material flow betweendepartments. Optimization is an approach which finds the best possible answer to a question forexisting constraints. This paper expands the Nordin model to minimize the total flow and distancefrom a department to other departments, according to the objective function. The distance is measuredfrom the center of departments in a straight line.
