A hybrid clustering and ranking method for best positioned logistics distribution centre in balkan peninsulaetia

Abstract

© The Author 2017. Facility location decisions are critical in strategic planning for a wide range of operational and logistical decisions. Facility location problem with focus on logistics distribution centre (LDC) in Balkan Peninsula (BP) is discussed in this article. Methodological hybrid genetic algorithm, Analytical Hierarchy Process, and fuzzy c-means method is proposed here and it is shown how such a model can be of assistance in analysing a multi criteria decision-making problem. This research represents continuation of three existing studies. The experimental results in our research could be well compared with other official results of the feasibility study of the LDC located in BP.
