Optimal Location of Facilities with Limited Capacity
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract At the facility which has limited capacity, users can not always be provided service, but be passed around. In the situation that the total number of servers is constant, more facilities reduce servers of individual facility. Therefore though the distance from users to facility decreases, the loss probability increases. We consider the number of facilities and their location which minimizes total distance, taking account of the loss probability which depends on their capacity and demands.

Optimal Capacities in Discrete Facility Location Design Problem
Network location models comprise one of the main categories of location models. These models have various applications in regional and urban planning as well as in transportation, distribution, and energy management. In a network location problem, nodes represent demand points and candidate locations to locate the facilities. If the links network is unchangeably determined, the problem will be ...

In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is applied to the airline network revenue management problem. The airline network with the arc capacitated single hub location problem based on complete–star p-hub network is considered. We try to maximize the profit of the transportation company by choosing the best hub locations and network topology, applying revenue management techniques to al...

This paper presents a multi-objective and multi-service location-allocation model with capacity planning to design a healthcare facilities network through considering a referral system. Therefore, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model containing two objective functions is proposed. The first objective function is relates to minimization of total opening cost, minimization of tota...
متن کاملA Node-based Mathematical Model towards the Location Routing Problem with Intermediate Replenishment Facilities under Capacity Constraint
In this paper, we study the location routing problem with replenishment facilities (LRPRF), an extension of the location routing problem (LRP) where the vehicles can replenish at some replenishment facilities. Vehicles leave the depot with load on-board, serve customers until out of load, and then either return to a replenishment facility to reload or return to the depot, completing their route...

Facility location decisions are considered as the most important strategic decisions of organizations, and since they need large investment costs, changing in these decisions will be often impossible. Therefore, it seems necessary to decide about facility location with regard to the constraints and assumptions of real world in an optimal way. In this article, a facility location model is propos...
