An Equitable Fuzzy Approach for Facility Delocation: A Case Study of Banks Merging

This paper aims to provide an equitable approach for the delocation via merging different bank branches. Due profit loss, some banks have resisted this change, so we developed a n/equity modeling issue convince owners and employees. The proposed model is mixed-integer programming fuzzy constraints based on weighted sum of remaining branches total number each type bank. Moreover, was also used avoid unemployment closed staff. Considering harsh employment conditions turmoil employees after branched delocation, maximizing retention branch considered model's objective function. result showed that using constraints, equity can be well modeled. increasing coefficient reduces facilities in system, as consequence, desired efficiency (i.e., personnel retention) reduced. So, reach non-dominated answers. Finally, results reducing minimum distance between will allow more remain system retain
