New LNS Method Solves Facility Location Problem with Incompatible Customers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an enhanced Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) method to address a new variant of the capacitated facility location problem that accounts for customer incompatibilities. This problem is relevant in scenarios where certain customer pairs cannot be served by the same facility, such as those involving hazardous materials or competing interests. The proposed LNS method incorporates three distinct destroy operators and utilizes an exact solver for the repair phase, outperforming existing state-of-the-art metaheuristics and achieving new best solutions for benchmark instances.

    An Enhanced Large Neighborhood Search Approach for the Capacitated Facility Location Problem with Incompatible Customers

    arXiv:2605.28337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A new variant of the classic capacitated facility location problem, which considers incompatibilities between customers, has recently been introduced in the literature. This problem captures the situation where given pairs of custom…
