This table shows how our paper compares with current literature. Our study would show that our method can solve large scale Balanced MCLP (BMCLP) problem. We would also show that it is generalizable to cover large range of applications. It can not only be easily applied to solve large-scale location problems, but also to solve single-level or multi-level logistics location problems. 3. Discussion of mathematical models of the MCLP in the literature In this section, we will first list the notations and assumptions used in the paper. We will then introduce the most well-known MCLP models found in literature and their mathematical formulations. Next, we will discuss the concept of balance in our proposed Model.
