Abstract

The Plant Location Problem is one of the most important branch of operations research concerned with the optimal placement of plants to minimize transportation costs. We had to deal with a real problem related to the positioning of medical facilities on the territory of Emilia-Romagna. We started from the SPLP to create a mathematical model for this problem, but we needed to add some more constraints. The described algorithm was designed to give to the user a rapid feedback from the system
