The facility location problem described in this paper comes from an industrial application in the slaughterhouse industry of Norway. Investigations show that the slaughterhouse industry experiences economies of scale in the production facilities. We examine a location-allocation problem focusing on the location of slaughterhouses, their size and the allocation of animals in the different farmin...

There exist various service systems that have hierarchical structure. In hierarchical service networks, facilities at different levels provide different types of services. For example, in health care systems, general centers provide low-level services such as primary health care services, while the specialized hospitals provide high-level services. Because of demand congestion in service networ...

This comprehensive work explores the research performed inoptimization of the collection bin and in recycle bin location-allocation issues in solidwaste management. Although the collection phase of solid waste management accountsfor a significant proportion of the municipal budget, it has attracted only limitedattention of the researchers. Optimization of the collection bin and recycle bin loca...

INTRODUCTION Facility location decisions are costly and difficult to change. One of the most important issues in facility location problem and specifically supply chain management is locating and allocating the distribution centers. These strategic decisions are critical factors of whether materials will flow efficiently through the chain network. The location of distribution centers are affect...

Background and Objectives: One of the key issues in determining location for blood supply center is the design of blood supply chain. To minimize the cost of blood supply, the donors should be reached easily with appropriate distribution of blood and blood products to the hospital. The aim of this study was calculating of the optimal number and location of different various t...

Three types of fuzzy random programming for capacitated location-allocation problem with fuzzy random demands are proposed according to different criteria, including the expected value model, chanceconstrained programming and dependent-chance programming. Finally, integrating the network simplex algorithm, fuzzy random simulation and genetic algorithm, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is produced...
