Trends like single-day delivery and easy return have put a lot of pressure on the existing supply chain. India is one of the biggest untapped e-commerce markets in the world and all the major eCommerce giants are vying for the share. warehouses play a very important role in the supply chain of these eCommerce companies and the problem of the location of these warehouses has gained the attention of researchers worldwide. Previous studies devoted to warehouse location problems were primarily focused on either production in factories or wholesale of FMCG products. In this research paper warehouse location concept is explored. The proposed formulation helps e-commerce companies to decide the suitable location for warehouses to meet the cost criteria and customer satisfaction. A mixed-integer problem (MIP) that is Capacitated facility location problem has been used which is related to the k-median approach. The study has been conducted on the data of the region of eastern UP (Uttar Pradesh). the demand of different demand centres is best on the population of different regions concerning each other and transportation costs derived proportionally to the distance calculated between the demand centre and potential warehouse sites. the result is calculated by the help of the solver in excel. Results obtained after implementing the proposed approach reveal the efficacy of the model over various problem dimensions and show its efficiency over a simple K median model(Uncapitiated).
