Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the effect of station demands variations on supermarket location problem (SLP). This problem arises in the real-world assembly line part feeding (PF) context where supermarkets are used as the intermediate storage areas for stations. To this purpose a stochastic SLP model is developed to optimize the total cost of PF in terms of shipment, inventory and installation costs. The computational results over a real case as well as different test instances verify that the station demands variation has an effect on the SLP solutions.
