The goal and systemic constraints were also modelled. The most suitable site for the construction of the plant was selected after solving the mathematical model in the Excel Solver add-in. The selected site had various advantages over the other sites, such as the shortest average distance to ...
Fig. 3. Step-by-step implementation of the Goal-based OWA operator in Microsoft Excel Solver. Note: The data and calculations necessary to reproduce these steps, including the Microsoft Excel Solver configuration, are available in [40]. The GRG Nonlinear and Evolutionary methods can be used to...
