Abstract |
This paper presents an Iterative Heuristic Algorithm and Branch and Bound Algorithm for optimal location of clusters on different levels. The use of cluster analysis is proposed for grouping highly related departments for both the methods. The vertical location problem is formulated for optimal location problem. Results obtained by both the algorithms are presented and compared in terms of travel cost. |
