The document presents a model based on a hybrid of the k-means and particle swarm optimization (KPso) algorithms aimed at optimizing storage management in university libraries, focusing on the storage location-allocation problem. It demonstrates that the proposed KPso model is more efficient in memory use and solution quality for medium-sized tasks compared to existing methods, although it does not outperform mixed-integer programming models in terms of runtime. The study emphasizes the simplicity and effectiveness of the new approach, providing a framework for further research in automated clustering and supply chain management.
