Abstract
The multicriteria location problem involves a set of potential (or feasible) locational alternatives and a set of criteria (attributes) on the basis of which the alternatives are evaluated. The problem requires that a choice be made among alternatives described by their attributes and with respect to the decision maker(s) preferences. Here, it is assumed that the preferences are expressed in terms of weights assigned to the evaluation criteria and the location problem can be represented in the form of a simple additive weighting model.
