| Abstract | This thesis presents a general model for the location problem based on integer linear programming with fixed charges. The location problem is concerned with choosing locations for facilities throughout a particular region or area in such a way that total costs and expenses incurred are minimized. Although the location problem presented is basically of second degree, a transformation is used to convert the problem to linear form. Following the development of the general model, this particular method is applied to a problem of determining the optimum size, location, and combination of incinerators and/or power plants to be installed for the disposal of wood waste. The determination of fixed charges and other relative costs becomes increasingly more complex as deviations from the general model occur. |
