Abstract

The combined distribution and assignment problem has been studied by many authors. The problems examined have been of different types. Some authors focus their attention on the user optimized combined distribution and assignment problem whereas others study a system optimized version. Apart from this difference there is also a difference in the way the distribution part and the assignment part are incorporated into the models. In this paper we study a combined distribution and assignment problem with entropy objective and cost constraints and give an algorithm based on Benders decomposition for its solution. The resulting solution method will be a “dual” method.
