Abstract

The Discrete Ordered Median Problem (DOMP) unifies discrete facility location problems in the sense that classical location problems, such as the N-median, N-centre and Uncapacitated Facility Location problems, are particular cases of the DOMP. In addition, new location problems, which are interesting from a practical point of view (e.g. the k 1 + k 2 trimmed mean problem, see Section 2.1.1), can be formulated as special cases of the DOMP. Therefore, the study of the DOMP is interesting not only from a theoretical point of view (unification of discrete facility location problems) but also from a practical one (possibility to formulate new interesting problems).KeywordsLocation ProblemVariable Neighbourhood SearchFacility Location ProblemSupply Chain PlanningUncapacitated Facility LocationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
