The issue of housing is a Vital Aspect of the Supply Chain. In our research, a mathematical model of the single-capacity warehouse problem is used to determine the optimal storage location in the fertilizer distribution; Which has been solved using the exact method and algorithm. Moreover, their test results have been compared; The results show that the innovative approach is more efficient because the precise process requires more computation time. Our suggestion for this article is to solve the problem with a clear numerical example of two specific and meta-functional methods. Solving the problem by opening ten warehouses costs $ 8,636,551 in 5.89 seconds. Comparing the innovative and accurate approach leads to the efficiency of the meta-innovative algorithm.
