A robust approach to multi period covering location-allocation problem in pharmaceutical supply chain
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
This paper proposes a discrete capacitated covering location-allocation model for pharmaceutical centers. In the presented model, two objectives are considered; the first one is minimization of costs and the second one try to maximize customer satisfaction by definition of social justice. Social justice in the model means that we consider customers satisfaction by using distance. the introduced model is an extension of the maximum covering model by adding zone constraint that Actually the distance between facility and customer zone is categorized as best, possible and not possible location. The model tries to locate facilities in best and possible location. In addition, number of missed customers is important and the model considered this issue. Since the nature of the demand is uncertain, a robust approach is proposed. The model could applied to other industries that have limitation about their product such as perishability foods or other perishability product. The model solved by GAMS Software. Finally, a numerical example with sensitivity analysis presented to illustrate the proposed model.

The paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. In real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. This may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. Scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...

In this paper, a new multi-objective integer non-linear programming model is developed for designing citrus three-echelon supply chain network. Short harvest period, product specifications, high perished rate, and special storing and distributing conditions make the modeling of citrus supply chain more complicated than other ones. The proposed model aims to minimize network costs includin...
