  7. Abstract:
  8. In this research, the location-inventory problem is developed in order to design a distribution center considering customers behavior. We consider two groups of customers who have different behavior on purchase. The customers may order the product via internet and receive it at their location or go to the nearest store and buy the product at the store center. We model the problem as a multi-objective programming model. The objectives are maximizing the profit as well as maximizing the market share. The model locates the distribution centers (DC) and allocates the customers to DCs. Two heuristic algorithms developed to solve the model: non- dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and multi-objective simulated annealing. The performance of these algorithms analyzed and some managerial insights are determined through sensitivity analysis
