Recently, the Government of Iran has announced incentives for industrial activities in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Free Trade Zones (FTZs). The purpose of this study is to illustrate the selection of most optimal location for a warehouse in various SEZs and FTZs in Iran on the basis of different criteria for warehouse location selection.
