Abstract:

This paper considers the Single Source Capacitated Facility Location Problem (SSCFLP). We propose a Scatter Search approach to provide upper bounds for the optimal solution of the problem. The proposed approach uses GRASP to initialize the Reference Set. Solutions of the Reference Set are combined using a procedure that consists of two phases: (1) the initialization phase and (2) the improvement phase. During the initialization phase each client is assigned to an open facility to obtain a solution that is then improved with the improvement phase. Also, a tabu search algorithm is applied.
