Abstract

The aim of this study is to present a hybrid algorithm based on two meta-heuristic algorithms named Vibration Damping Optimization (VDO) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving the stochastic capacitated location-allocation problem. For solving the model more efficiently, the simplex algorithm, stochastic simulation and the proposed hybrid algorithm are integrated to design a powerful hybrid intelligent algorithm. Finally, to illustration the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a few numerical examples are selected from literature and it is found out that the proposed algorithm is able to obtain good results.
