Abstract
This paper presents a model for the location-allocation problem which considers both qualitative and quantitative factors. The proposed model is based on a weighted objective function. The weights are determined on the basis of the relative importance assigned to the qualitative factors. Applications of the proposed method to real-world problems are discussed and two examples are presented to describe the proposed method. The familiar transportation method of linear programming is used to obtain optimal solutions. Solutions for the examples were compared with those obtained from using only the quantitative factor (transportation cost) and the corresponding results are discussed.
