Bi-level programming model for solving distribution center problem: A case study in Northern Thailand’s sugarcane management

•The distribution center problem is formulated with Bi-level programming.•We present 4 algorithms to improve the upper bound of BLP.•Algorithms are tested on 9 combinations of DC and growers with 100 random data sets.•The shooting step is added in some algorithms to avoid local optima.•A case study...
