Locating social service centres using Interactive graphics
Abstract
The paper explores the feasibility of using interactive graphic based solution procedures in location
problems with discrete choices. It compares solutions generated through interactive graphics with those
generated through optimization for a problem context where service centres had to be located in rural
India. The comparison demonstrates the feasibility of generating near optimal solutions for problems
with a certain dimensionality. Broad features of the graphic software are described. The paper also
highlights other advantages and limitations of the interactive graphic procedure.
