Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to examine, and present a comprehensive review of,
the existing literature on the international manufacturing network (IMN) …

This paper addresses a port cluster problem that considers industry transfer and the capacity
constraints along the Maritime Silk Road (MSR). A method is proposed based on hub and …

This paper studies the location–inventory problem, which jointly optimizes the location,
inventory, and allocation of distribution centers (DCs) to serve uncertain demand of multiple …

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

Most existing facility location and network design models assume the facility cost as either a
fixed cost term or a linear/concave function of the volume of demand assigned to a facility. In …

Most existing facility location models assume that the facility cost is either a fixed setup cost
or made up of a fixed setup and a problem-specific concave or submodular cost term. This …

This research proposes an effective and efficient tabu search heuristic for an integrated
location-inventory problem. Integrated location-inventory models extend classical facility …

In this paper, we study a general class of two-level capacitated discrete location problems
with concave costs. The concavity arises from the economies of scale in production …

We propose a novel modeling framework for supply chain network design that models a
prevailing trend in consumer choice in which demand is impacted by carbon footprint. To …

We propose a Lagrangian heuristic for facility location problems with concave cost functions
and apply it to solve the plant location and technology acquisition problem. The problem is …
