Facility location under uncertainty: a review
Plants, distribution centers, and other facilities generally function for years or decades, during which time the environment in which they operate may change substantially. Costs, demands, travel times, and other inputs to classical facility location models may be highly uncertain. This has made the development of models for facility location under uncertainty a high priority for researchers i...
متن کاملFacility location in humanitarian relief
In this study, we consider facility location decisions for a humanitarian relief chain responding to quick-onset disasters. In particular, we develop a model that determines the number and locations of distribution centres in a relief network and the amount of relief supplies to be stocked at each distribution centre to meet the needs of people affected by the disasters. Our model, which is a v...
متن کاملCapacitated Facility Location With Distance-Dependent Coverage Under Demand Uncertainty
We consider a facility location problem to determine the points of dispensing medicine or supplies in a large-scale emergency. For this problem we consider capacitated facilities, a distance-dependent coverage function, and demand uncertainty. We formulate a special case of the maximal covering location problem (MCLP) with a loss function, to account for the distance-sensitive demand, and chanc...
متن کاملDynamic Coal Logistics Facility Location under Demand Uncertainty
In this paper, dynamic facility location and supply chain planning are studied through minimizing the costs of facility location, path selection and transportation of coal under demand uncertainty. The proposed model dynamically incorporates possible changes in transportation network, facility investment costs, operating cost and changes in facility location. In addition, the time variation and...
متن کاملHierarchical Facility Location and Hub Network Problems: A literature review
In this paper, a complete review of published researches about hierarchical facility location and hub network problems is presented. Hierarchical network is a system where facilities with different service levels interact in a top-down way or vice versa. In Hierarchical systems, service levels are composed of different facilities. Published papers from (1970) to (2015) have been studied and a c...
