In this paper a simple Lagrangian heuristic is proposed for the set covering problem. It is based on simple and classica1 ideas: Lagrangian duality, greedy heuristic for the set covering problem, subgradient optimization and redundant covers. The main interesting point of the paper lies in the fact
