Abstract

This paper presents a bi-objective optimisation model for solving the location-allocation problem (LAP) of a distribution network that consists of four echelons including suppliers, manufacturing plants, distribution centres and customers. Multiple product types and raw materials are considered. A bi-objective mathematical model is formulated to minimise the total costs and the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the location-allocation decisions. A meta-heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the proposed mathematical model. The proposed algorithm was implemented using multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO) and multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) solution methods and results were analysed.
