Bi-objective Combined Facility Location and Network Design

چکیده
This paper presents a multicriterion algorithm for dealing with joint facility location and network design problems, formulated as bi-objective problems. The algorithm is composed of two modules: a multiobjective quasi-Newton algorithm, that is used to find the location of the facilities; and a multiobjective genetic algorithm, which is responsible for finding the efficient topologies. These modules are executed in an iterative way, to make the estimation of whole Pareto set possible. The algorithm has been applied to the expansion of a real energy distribution system. The minimization of financial cost and the maximization of reliability have been considered as the design objectives in this case.

Solving a bi-objective location routing problem by a NSGA-II combined with clustering approach: application in waste collection problem
It is observed that the separated design of location for depots and routing for servicing customers often reach a suboptimal solution. So, solving location and routing problem simultaneously could achieve better results. In this paper, waste collection problem is considered with regard to economic and societal objective functions. A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is used to l...

Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...

In this paper, the strategic planning of a supply chain under a static chain-to-chain competition on the plane is addressed. It is assumed that each retailer has a coverage area called the radius of influence. The demand of each demand zone is divided equally between the retailers which can cover that market. However, the demand of distant customers who are not in the retailers’ radius of influ...
