This page contains a collection of benchmark instances for the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP), also known as Simple Plant Location Problem (SPLP) or the (Uncapacitated) Warehouse Location Problem.

In the UFLP, there are a number of m cities/customers and n potential facility locations. With each location we associate a nonnegative opening cost f_i. Between each facility i and each city j there is a nonnegative connection or service cost c_ij. The task is to connect each city to exactly one opened facility such that the sum of all costs is minimized.

This problem has been studied intensively, and here a collection of standard benchmark problems can be accessed. Furthermore sources and binaries of benchmark generators for different operating systems and code for several solution algorithms are available.
