Median-center Problem

The Median-Center Problem is a facility location model that belongs to the class of optimization problems seeking to determine the optimal placement of a single facility such that the sum of weighted distances to all demand points is minimized, distinguished from related models by its specific objective of minimizing total transportation cost rather than maximizing coverage or minimizing maximum distance.
