A new heuristic algorithm is proposed for the P-median problem. The heuristic restricts the size of the state space of a dynamic programming algorithm. The approach may be viewed as an extension of the myopic or greedy adding algorithm for the P-median model. The approach allows planners to identify
We want to find the location of p facilities which minimize the expected total cost, when the cost for using a facility is a stochastic variable with unknown probability distribution. Using the method of the asymptotic approximations the expected optimal value of the allocation variables is shown to
