Parallel Shared-Memory Multi-Objective Stochastic Search for Competitive Facility Location
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stochastic search algorithm for local multi-objective optimization is developed and applied to solve a multi-objective competitive facility problem for firm expansion using shared-memory parallel computing systems. The performance of the developed algorithm is experimentally investigated by solving competitive facility location problems, using up to 16 shared-memory processing units. It is shown that the developed algorithm has advantages against its precursor in the sense of the precision of optimization and that it has almost linear speed-up on 16 shared-memory processing units, when solving competitive facility location problems of different scope reasonable for practical applications.

An integrated model considers all parameters and elements of different deficiencies in one problem. This paper presents a new integrated model of a supply chain that simultaneously considers facility location, vehicle routing and inventory control problems as well as their interactions in one problem, called location-routing-inventory (LRI) problem. This model also considers stochastic demands ...

In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
