Heading:PROBLEMS AND OPINIONS

Application of multi-criteria decision-making models for the tasks of warehouse dislocation in supply chains

Is considered possibilities of application of the method of the Analytic Hierarchy Process for the solution of the problem on optimum dislocation of warehouses in supply chains. The solution of this problem in the conditions of extension of the sales network, in our judgement, can be considered as the part of wider algorithm of optimization of the network of distribution.

Key words. Placement of capacities, logistic networks, optimum dislocation of warehouses, Method of the Analytics of Hierarchies.
