Sharpen your mathematical optimization modeling skills with this example, in which you will learn how to select the location of facilities based on their proximity to customers. We’ll demonstrate how you can construct a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model of this facility location problem, implement this model in the Gurobi Python API, and generate an optimal solution using the Gurobi Optimizer.
This modeling example is at the intermediate level, where we assume that you know Python and are familiar with the Gurobi Python API. In addition, you should have some knowledge about building mathematical optimization models.
