Abstract

In this paper, we address a discrete facility location problem where a retailer aims at locating new facilities with possibly different characteristics. Customers visit the facilities based on their preferences which are represented as probabilities. These probabilities are determined in a novel way by using a fuzzy clustering algorithm. It is assumed that the sum of the probabilities with which customers at a given demand zone patronize different types of facilities is equal to one. However, among the same type of facilities they choose the closest facility, and the strength at which this facility covers the customer is based on two distances referred to as full coverage distance and gradual (partial) coverage distance. If the distance between the customer location and the closest facility is smaller (larger) than the full (partial) coverage distance, this customer is fully (not) covered, whereas for all distance values between full and partial coverage, the customer is partially covered. Both distance values depend on both the customer attributes and the type of the facility. Furthermore, facilities can only be opened if their revenue exceeds a certain threshold value. A final restriction is incorporated into the model by defining a minimum separation distance between the same facility types. This restriction is also extended to the case where a minimum threshold distance exists among facilities of different types. The objective of the retailer is to find the optimal locations and types of the new facilities in order to maximize its profit. Two versions of the problem are formulated using integer linear programming, which differ according to whether the minimum separation distance applies to the same facility type or different facility types. The resulting integer linear programming models are solved by three approaches: commercial solver CPLEX, heuristics based on Lagrangean relaxation, and local search implemented with 1-Add and 1-Swap moves. Apart from experimentally assessing the accuracy and the efficiency of the solution methods on a set of randomly generated test instances, we also carry out sensitivity analysis using a real-world problem instance.
