Factoring in Facility Capacities

[jartantupjar]

Hi,

I'm wondering if the library can solve this optimization problem: Say I have a 5x5 empty grid and I have N facilities each with their own capacity. Eg facility 1 needs 6 blocks and facility 2 needs 12 blocks. I want the model to assign spaces in the grid that meet the capacity requirement and spaces that belong to the same facility are close to each other.

Hi,

Thanks for the message. We have not developed the capacity components in the spopt but that's certainly on our next agenda this summer!

Thank you @qszhao. Would you happen to know of an algorithm/tool that could solve this? I know its sort of possible with Pulp/OR but linear optimization cannot handle distances aspect of my problem.

@jartantupjar I believe this problem must be solved? If not can you give a bit better spatial demonstration of the questions then we can have a think...

Functionality for considering facility capacities for the LSCP are being addressed in #273.

Closing as completed (and maybe lack of context / out of scope). We can reopen if needed.
