ROUNDING OF CUSTOMER’S DEMANDS AND ITS IMPACT ON SOLUTION OF THE LOCATION PROBLEM

Abstract

This paper deals with the modifications of customer demands and with their impact of modifications of customer demands on the location of supply centers. The solution of the location problem with exactly p location is sought. During the computation the penalty constant is used very often. Accumulation of the penalty values in same variable causes the memory overflow. To eliminate this defect, we use the coefficient of the proportionality in some parameters of the location problem. We find how the coefficient of the proportionality influences the accuracy of the final result. The obtained results can help to solve the problem of the distribution systems design.
