Motif is a Turkish electrotechnical company which operates a warehouse in Ankara. The warehouse has a single I/O point and 32 storage locations.

Tables 1 and 2 report the characteristics of the six products and the distances between the I/O point and the storage locations, respectively.

Assuming that the travel time from the I/O point to storage location k (k = 1,..., 32) is directly proportional to the corresponding distance, determine the optimal allocation of the products in the warehouse.

Table 1 Characteristics of the products in the Motif problem.
Product	Storage locations required	Daily number of storages and retrievals
1	6	133
2	5	128
3	8	198
4	5	126
5	4	128
6	3	98
