Abstract: This paper considers the problem of locating multiple new facilities in order to minimize a total cost function consisting of the sum of weighted Euclidean distances among the new facilities and between the new and existing facilities, the locations of which are known. A new procedure is derived from a set of results pertaining to necessary conditions for a minimum of the objective function. The results from a number of sample problems which have been executed on a programmed version of this algorithm are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the new technique.
