Logistics management research has significantly benefited from the increased prominence of warehouse management challenges in recent years, which are now extensively utilized in analyzing logistics distribution and transportation networks. Concerning Facility Location Problems and their variations, this work attempts to perform an extensive literature assessment of current model advances and improvements. This study also aims to ascertain the influence and developments in Facility Location Problems, which are classic optimization problems with numerous applications in manufacturing, distribution, transportation, and supply chain management decisions. This study thoroughly analyzes current developments in facility location problems, a category of optimization issues frequently used in network architecture, logistics, and supply chain management. The review analyzes literature from the past decade, categorizing works based on problem variants, mathematical formulations, solution methods, and exact approaches. Key findings highlight significant progress in solving complex facility location problems through advances in mathematical programming, scalable exact methods, and hybrid metaheuristics. Emerging trends such as uncertainty modeling, multi-objective optimization, and sustainability are also discussed.
