Bi-objective multi-assignment capacitated location-allocation problem
Optimization problems of location-assignment correspond to a wide range of real situations, such as factory network design. However most of the previous works seek in most cases at minimizing a cost function. Traffic incidents routinely impact the performance and the safety of the supply. These …

A reformulation-linearization based implicit enumeration algorithm for the rectilinear distance location-allocation problem
… with the analysis of a Rectilinear Distance Location Allocation Problem, where the costs are directly proportional to rectilinear distances and the amount shipped. The problem is formulated as a Mixed Integer Bilinear Programming Problem and as a Discrete Location Allocation Problem. Using …

Capacitated, unbalanced p-median problems on a chain graph with a continuum of link demands
This study is concerned with the problem of locating p capacitated facilities on a chain graph, and simultaneously determining the allocation of their supplies in order to satisfy a continuum of demand which is characterized by some weighted probability density function defined on the chain graph. …

Integrating Simulation–Optimisation for Multi-Objective Blood Supply Chain Network Design
… a novel multi-objective framework for the BSC location–allocation problem. The model incorporates demand uncertainty and environmental considerations, specifically CO₂ emissions, to determine the optimal number, location, and allocation of both permanent and mobile blood collection facilities …

Optimal Location of Biomethane Gas Manufacturing Plants and Allocation of Feedstock and Liquified Carbon Product
… supply chain configurations for BMG facility locations are proposed with increasing level of complexity: single-stage, single-reactor system (SS-SRS); single-stage, multi-reactor system (SS-MRS); three-stage, multi-facility system (TS-MFS); and four-stage, multi-facility system (FS-MFS). The …

Balanced, capacitated, location-allocation problems on networks with a continuum of demand
Location-allocation problems can be described generically as follows: Given the location or distribution (perhaps, probabilistic) of a set of customers and their associated demands for a given product or service, determine the optimum location of a number of service facilities and the allocation of …

Probabilistic formulations of some facility location problems
The area of facilities location covers a wide variety of problems involving both public and private sector applications. To date, the study of location problems has been restricted primarily to deterministic formulations of the problem. The present research effort investigates the effect of random …

Modeling and Analysis of a Feedstock Logistics Problem
… dissertation, we address a feedstock logistics problem associated with the delivery of switchgrass for conversion into biofuel. In order to satisfy the continual demand of biomass at a bioenergy plant, production fields within a 48-km radius of its location are assumed to be attracted into …

Algorithmic Approaches for Solving the Euclidean Distance Location and Location-Allocation Problems
… algorithmic approaches for solving the minisum location and location-allocation problems in which the Euclidean metric is used to measure distances. To overcome the nondifferentiability difficulty associated with the Euclidean norm function, specialized solution procedures are developed for both …

Optimization Models and Analysis of Routing, Location, Distribution, and Design Problems on Networks
A variety of practical network optimization problems arising in the context of public supply and commercial transportation, emergency response and risk management, engineering design, and industrial planning are addressed in this study. The decisions to be made in these problems include the …
