SOTO-DE LA VEGA, Diego; GERALDO VIDAL-VIEIRA, José  e  VITOR-TOSO, Eli Angela. Methodology for distribution centers location through multicriteria analysis and optimization. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2014, vol.81, n.184, pp.28-35. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v81n184.39654.

This paper presents a combined methodology based on multicriteria decision analysis and optimization for the distribution centers location problem. The initial approach consists of a set of relevant quantitative and qualitative attributes used for the decision of locating distribution centers. From quantitative criteria a multi-objective mathematical programming model to minimize costs is proposed. This model provides alternative solutions that may be compared to the other ones initially known. These solutions are assessed for a multicriteria decision model which incorporates qualitative considerations of the problem that are infeasible to represent algebraically. Therefore, the application of the multi-criteria decision analysis model evaluates a set of feasible solutions to suggest for the best alternative considering several attributes.
