The capacitated location problem of precast concrete component factory

Abstract

The location and capacity of precast concrete component factories (PC component factories) are not only the key factors for manufacturers to gain competitive advantage, but also the important factors affecting the operational efficiency of the prefabricated construction supply chain. This paper takes the capacitated location problem of PC component factories as the research object. Drawing on the model of traditional capacitated plant location problem, the model of capacitated location problem of PC component factories is constructed by setting the optional production scale by stages. According to the characteristics of this model, the optimal strategy of location is determined by using the Tabu search algorithm. Taking the location problem of PC component factory in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as the object, the calculation example is designed, in which the influence of the distance parameters on the results of location problem is analyzed. The results can make the configuration of regional PC component factories more reasonable and balanced.
