Abstract: The standard uncapacitated facility location problem requires locating facilities on a network to service the demands on the network at a minimum total cost. It is assumed that the demand at each customer site must be satisfied. In this study we considered a generalized version of the problem where the demands are not known precisely (i.e., fuzzy) which makes the cost imprecise and has triangular possibility distribution. A numerical example is considered to illustrate the methodology.
