The ability to understand and explain the outcomes of data analysis methods, with regard to
aiding decision-making, has become a critical requirement for many applications. For …

The aim of this paper is to provide insights for better modeling hub location problems to help
create a road map for future hub location research. We first present a taxonomy to provide a …

Resilience is currently an increasing concern in supply chain (SC), caused by their
globalization, which is subject to diverse types of disturbances. Such disturbances need to …

New technological developments pave the way for passengers and goods transport
provided by electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles and introduce the Urban …

Supply chain planning is based on the assumption of fixed production locations. This
appears justified insofar as location decisions are usually strategic in nature and …

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy mathematical model for a distribution network design
problem in a multi-product, multi-period, multi-echelon, multi-plant, multi-retailer, multi-mode …

Facility location models are well established in various application areas with more than a
century of history in academia. Since the 1970s the trend has been shifting from …

Abstract Hub Location Problems (HLPs) lie at the heart of network design planning in
transportation and telecommunication systems. They constitute a challenging class of …

Urban air mobility (UAM) is an emerging concept proposed in recent years that uses electric
vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). UAM is expected to offer an alternative way …

The ever-growing applications of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the production of low
