Abstract

Location-allocation problems, due to their mathematical complexity, resist exact solutions for problems of more than moderate size. For this and other reasons, heuristic (approximative) approaches are widely used in solving them. This chapter considers the two seminal streams of heuristic solution procedures, both of which remain in use today often in a somewhat altered form. We begin by outlining the location-allocation problem that originally attracted the development of these approaches.
