the hub location decision is a long term investment and any changes in it take considerable time and money. in real situations, some parameters are uncertain hence, deterministic models cannot be more efficient. the ability of two-stage stochastic programming is to make a long-term decision by considering effects of it in short term decisions simultaneously. in the two-stage stochastic programm...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

Finding the location for plans like factories or warehousesfor any organization is an important and strategic decision. Costs oftransportation which are the main part of the price of the goods, is thefunction of the location of these projects. to find the optimum locationof these projects, there have been various methods proposed which areusually defined (not random). In reality and in dealing ...

Determination of facilities, such as factories or warehouses, location and availability conditions is one of the important and strategic decisions for an organization to make. Transportation costs that form a major part of goods price are dependent to this decision making. There are verity of methods have been presented to achieve the optimal locations of these facilities which are generally de...

In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...

We study stochastic uncapacitated hub location problems in which uncertainty is associated to demands and transportation costs. We show that the stochastic problems with uncertain demands or dependent transportation costs are equivalent to their associated deterministic expected value problem (EVP), in which random variables are replaced by their expectations. In the case of uncertain independe...
