Members of international organizations often meet in person at a common location for discussions. There is frequently disagreement over the place and time of the meeting due to the different travel efforts of the members. They usually travel by plane and their travel expenses depend on the flight connections. This paper presents an approach to calculate the optimized location and time, where and when distributed partners should meet. The presented system considers the requirements and specifications of each individual member. It respects earliest starting time of an event and non night flights. The optimized result is evaluated with regard to multiple objectives. We focus on the minimization of costs and travel time. Our search algorithm identifies individual travel data for all members for a potential event. The output provides recommendations for the global best appointments and offers further information for the partners. Our system saves expenses and time for all members and allows adjustment as well as compensation.

Logistics centre location is very important in the overall development of the total logistics chain. Nowadays, it is very important to find a right place for one’s business. It is more important to find the best place for warehouse, to decrease all possible costs, to think about possibility to grow. Many companies are choosing to rent a warehouse because they do not know, if they have considerable expenses at the beginning of business. Question that worries many managers is how to decide about the best place where to rent or build a warehouse. This question should be number one in the development of warehouse infrastructure. Many authors think that the best place is the one, where it is possible to decrease all costs – transportation, land / rent costs. Warehouse is one of the most important links between production and delivery of goods to the customer’s location. The aim of the present research is to identify factors using a systematic literature analysis method – literature overview, which is important for searching the best place for logistics centre. Literature overview is an easy tool for selecting, systematising and collecting data about the research subject, using different authors’ articles, which have already proven key information about the present article. More than 8000 scientific articles were used to define 20 full-text articles for a deeper analysis. As a result of the research, the authors consider that the most important activities are to set a warehouse near important transportation nodes, and it is very necessary to decrease environmental issues.

“…Nature of the Problem. Much of the literature has studied the problem of selecting DCs' location under a certain and a deterministic environment [9,11,12,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. This kind of problem was characterized as static and deterministic, and parameters are known and fixed [33].…”

The location selection of distribution centers is one of the important strategies to optimize the logistics system. To solve this problem, under certain environment, this paper presents a new multicriteria decision-making method based on ELECTRE I. The proposed method helps decision-makers to select the best location from a given set of locations for implementing. After having identified decision-makers, the criteria, and the set of locations, the factors influencing the selection are analyzed in order to identify the best location. A sensitivity analysis is then performed to determine the influence of criteria weights on the selection decision. The strength of the proposed method is to incorporate decision-makers’ preferences into the decision-making process. In addition, the proposed method considers both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Finally, the selected solution is validated by both tests of concordance and discordance simultaneously. A case study is provided to illustrate the proposed method.
