Abstract
Most facility location models do not take customer preferences into account, and are therefore inadequate for application in service facilities. We construct a model to capture customer preferences and maximize the number of customers served. Given a set of open facilities, customers will choose facilities based on their individual preferences. As the problem is NP-hard, we design a heuristic algorithm based on maximum flow. A numerical study demonstrates the algorithm’s average performance and general applicability.
