Using Simulated Annealing Algorithm For Solving The Quadratic Assignment Problem With Apply On The Location Building For The AL-Salam Hospital In Mosul

The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the Combinatorial Optimization Problems that has wide popular and attention from researchers because simple formulation and important applications, it is based on finding the best assignment of sites with available facilities. In This research, we use the Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) to solve the Quadratic Assignment Problem with apply on the Al-Salam hospital in Mosul In order to find Better distribution of advisory services Inside the hospital building to curb the effort bypatients while moving the patient from the advisory service to another and thus minimize the total distance for transmission patients, The new distribution showed an improvement by ratio 7.38%.
