Abstract
This paper gives a review on quantitative methods for microeconomic location planning which can be subdivided into facility location and layout planning. Depending on different objectives and restrictions, there is a large variety of problems, especially in the field of facility location planning. Basic models arising in discrete and continuous facility location planning (e.g., warehouse location, center, location routing, competitive location problems), as well as corresponding solution methods, are presented. Generalized models and recent developments in these fields are outlined. Within layout planning, the quadratic assignment problem and graph-theoretic concepts are considered.
