Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, 1999, vol. 15, issue 4, 387-392

Abstract: By means of an application, in the present paper, the suitability of a multivariate statistical methodology, as multidimensional scaling (MDS), to solve an optimization problem is shown. In particular, considering the stock location assignment problem in the warehouse of a supermarket chain, the solution gained by applying MDS to a set of seven variables is compared with the one obtainable by considering the usual techniques applied in this context. A wide discussion of results is reported. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
