Abstract:
This articel discusses the application of location-allocation model in optimizing the
number and location of fire stations in Pekanbaru City. This quantitative locationallocation
model is solved by formulating the Set Covering Location Problem
(SCLP) model and the p-median problem model. The mathematical model in this
problem is solved using the LINGO 18.0. Computational results show that this
location-allocation model can determine the minimum number of fire stations, location
of fire stations, and the better allocation of each subdistrict to the fire stations.
