This paper presents a novel robust possibilistic programming model for a multi-period
location–allocation problem in an organ transplant supply chain under inherent uncertainty …

We propose a novel multi-period location–allocation model for the design of an organ
transplant transportation network under uncertainty. The model consists of a bi-objective …
