This Paper uses optimization method and decision making tool to find the best possible location of distribution centers. The original optimization method is modified to generate a new method which takes into consideration certain factors which were not present in the original formulation.Two levels of distribution center location have been found out. The first level uses Set Covering methodology to obtain the location.The second level uses Analytical Hierarchy Process to obtain the location. This Problem finds the location for two levels of distribution center for the state of Ohio.
