The design of distribution systems raises hard combinatorial optimization problems. For
instance, facility location problems must be solved at the strategic decision level to place …

This is a review of the literature on variants and extensions of the standard location-routing
problem published since the last survey, by Nagy and Salhi, appeared in 2006. We propose …

In this paper, we present an electric vehicles battery swap stations location routing problem
(BSS–EV–LRP), which aims to determine the location strategy of battery swap stations …

This paper is a survey of location-routing: a relatively new branch of locational analysis that
takes into account vehicle routing aspects. We propose a classification scheme and look at a …

Sustainable supply chain management is a topical area which is continuing to grow and
evolve. Within supply chains, downstream distribution from producers to customers plays a …

This paper describes an integrated location-distribution model for coordinating logistics
support and evacuation operations in disaster response activities. Logistics planning in …

Nowadays, many cloud providers offer Virtual Network Function (VNF) services that are
dynamically scaled according to the workload. Enterprises enjoy these services by only …

Multiechelon distribution systems are quite common in supply-chain and logistics. They are
used by public administrations in their transportation and traffic planning strategies, as well …

The location routing problem (LRP) is a relatively new research direction within location
analysis that takes into account vehicle routing aspects. The goal of LRP is to solve a facility …

Abstract The Capacitated Location-Routing Problem (CLRP) is a strategic-level problem
involving the selection of one or many depots from a set of candidate locations and the …
