MORENO VELASQUEZ, LUIS FERNANDO; VELASQUEZ HENAO, JUAN DAVID  y  DIAZ SERNA, FRANCISCO JAVIER. SOLUTION TO PROBLEM OF LOCATION OF WARE HOUSES AND ALLOCATION OF INVENTORIES USING HEURISTIC TECHNIQUES. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2005, vol.72, n.145, pp.57-66. ISSN 0012-7353.

The combined problem of location of warehouses and optimal allocation of inventories is quite difficult to pose and to solve by analytical methods. It is searched to determine the warehouses that must be selected of a given set, as well as the inventories associated to each one of them, to satisfy the demand of an article set with a given confidence level. It is presented an analysis of the generic exposition of the problem and a heuristic methodology of solution based on the exploration of the space of solutions, eliminating during the execution of the algorithm, those that are dominated, which must used in problems with a moderated number of warehouses. The second, is the Tabu Search Method, which is used when BEP is inappropriate. A comparison between BEP and Tabu Search method is made.
