Question 4(20 pts) Consider a hierarchical facility location model. There are three customer sites, i.e.,
N={1,2,3} and 3 potential facility locations, i.e.,M={4,5,6}. Locations 4 and 6 are candidates for a
type 1 facility, whereas locations 5 and 6 are candidates for a type 2 facility, i.e.,M1={4,6} and M2=
{5,6}. We would like to open one facility for each type, i.e.,p1=p2=1. The number of customers at
sites 1,2,3 for service types 1 and 2 are 500(site 1, type 1),2000(site 1, type 2),400(site 2, type 1),
200(site 2, type 2),750(site 3, type 1) and 1000(site 3, type 2) respectively. We would like to decide
which sites of potential facilities to open considering minimization of total distance between customers
and facility sites. Below is the distance matrix between customers and potential facilities.
