Abstract

The standard model capacitated facility location (CPLP / CWLP) to locate the facility on a network of customer demand until total cost of the allocation minimize. The purposes of this paper cover all the demands of specified number of facilities to reduce the cost. In this paper closer to the real world, parameters of model is fuzzy and objective function is multi objective at the same time the total establishment cost and travel time is minimized in accordance with the constraints. The innovation is combining hybrid fuzzy simplex with genetic algorithm approach to accelerate near optimization process to change multi-objective to a single objective with LP metric. Simulated annealing algorithm also compared to reflect significant differences in performance and response time. Its application in locating facilities include warehouses, factories and services sector.
