Multi‐Criteria Warehouse Location Available to Purchase

The problem of multi‐criteria optimisation has attracted a great deal of attention in the literature (for a brief discussion of various approaches see), one of the favourite methods of solution being that of goal programming. An example of how this method can be applied in the multi‐criteria warehouse location problem is described in a case study by Green et al, and because both the methodology and the solution raise several important issues, it has been chosen here for further discussion.
