The design of the distribution system is a strategic issue for almost every company. The
problem of locating facilities and allocating customers covers the core topics of distribution …

The two-stage capacitated facility location problem is to find the optimal locations of depots
to serve customers with a given demand, the optimal assignment of customers to depots and …

In this research note that the single source capacitated facility location problem with general
stochastic identically distributed demands is studied. The demands considered are …

Abstract Fixed-Charge Facility Location Problems are among core problems in location
science. There is a finite set of users with demand of service and a finite set of potential …

The capacitated facility location problem (CFLP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization
problem with applications in distribution and production planning. It consists in selecting …

This paper considers the capacitated facility location problem with convex and differentiable
production costs functions, an optimization problem that finds numerous real-world …

This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the expected cost of locating a number of
single product facilities and allocating uncertain customer demand to these facilities. The …

This paper presents a new hybrid algorithm for a classical capacitated plant location
problem. Benders' decomposition algorithm has been successfully applied in many areas. A …

Nowadays, many distribution networks deal with the distribution and storage of perishable
products. However, distribution network design models are largely based on assumptions …

This paper presents a simple branch-and-bound method based on Lagrangean relaxation
and subgradient optimization for solving large instances of the capacitated facility location …
