There are substantial number of exact and heuristic solution methods proposed for solving the facilities location problems. This paper develops an algorithm to solve the capacitated, multi-commodity, multi-period (dynamic), multi-stage facility location problem. The literature on such composite facility location problem is still sparse. The proposed algorithm consists of two parts: in the first part...
