2.4.2 Minisum Location Model
The objective of minisum location model is to minimize the sum of the weight
distances between the new facility and the other existing facilities.The minisum location
problem is formulated as below:
Formula 2.5 : Minisum location model
Where f(x) = total cost of travel between new facility and existing facility
wi = the weighted score
x = x-coordinate for new facility
y = y-coordinate for new facility
ai = x-coordinate for existing facility
bi = y-coordinate for existing facility
