This study presents an extension of the integrated Pharmaceutical Supply Chain design with
maximum expected coverage, where different hospitals with specific reliability value for …

Context information has become a significant asset to optimize the value obtained from
information systems. Location is an important type of context information that refers to the …

This paper proposes a bi-level programming model for the multi-classification-yard location
(MCYL) problem. The upper-level is intended to find an optimal establishment or …

One of the basic problems in the field of discrete location is the p-median problem. In this
chapter we present and analyze several versions of the problem, but we can roughly define …

Background As the proportion of elderly residents living in large-scale affordable housing
communities (LAHCs) increases in China, serious problems have become apparent related …

In this paper, we develop a stochastic programming model for the capacitated location-
allocation problem in the heterogeneous environment where the demands are distributed …

Facility location problems form a broad class of optimization problems extremely popular in
combinatorial optimization and operations research. In every facility location problem, one …

The efficient operation of emergency medical services is critical for any society. Typically,
optimisation and simulation models support decisions on emergency ambulance stations' …

This paper presents a framework for a systematic analysis of the impact of data aggregation
on a multi-product multi-period network design problem with batch cost. The optimization …

The p-median problem is among the most popular problem types in combinatorial
optimisation with a broad range of application areas from facility location–allocation and …
