<br/><br/> This research deals with a transportation problem of material  parts in the field of construction of transmission systems, with  particular reference to the Transmission and Distribution Con struction (TDC) office of Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) .  The problem · could be identified as a large "capacitated plant  location problem". However, it was solved by a hierarchical ap proach, i.e., first, the parts allocation to each warehouse is  deterimined by a mixed integer linear programming model; second,  the minimum number of trucks and the specific load of each truck  for each warehouse are determined by set covering model .  A heuristic method and exact method for the set covering problem  were studied, and it- was found that the heuristic method performed  satisfactorily in this context.  A case study of a transmission line construction project was  made, showing the usefulness of the overall approach.
