Ant Based Heuristics for the Capacitated Fixed Charge Location Problem

Protection of warehouses and plants under capacity constraint

“…As indicated before, we consider in this work the capacitated plant and warehouse location and capacity acquisition problem. The aim in this problem is to decide concurrently on the optimal location and capacity size of each new plant and each new warehouse to be established [29][30][31].…”
