A Congested Facility Location Problem
Consider a network facility location problem where congestion arises at facilities, and is represented by delay functions that approximate the queueing process. We strive to minimize the sum of customers' transportation and waiting times, and facilities' xed and variable costs. The problem is solved using a column generation technique within a Branch-and-Bound scheme. Numerical results are repo...
متن کاملMaximal Benefit Location Problem for A Congested System
Some servers are to be located at nodes of a network. Demand for services of these servers is located at each node and a subset of the nodes is to be chosen to locate one server in each. Each customer selects a server with a probability dependent on distance and a certain amount of benefit is achieved after giving service to the customer. Customers may waive receiving service with a known prob...
متن کاملApplying queuing theory for a reliable integrated location –inventory problem under facility disruption risks
This study considers a reliable location – inventory problem for a supply chain system comprising one supplier, multiple distribution centers (DCs), and multiple retailers in which we determine DCs location, inventory replenishment decisions and assignment retailers to DCs, simultaneously. Each DC is managed through a continuous review (S, Q) inventory policy. For tackling real world conditions...
متن کاملA Queuing Model of the N-design Multi-skill Call Center with Impatient Customers
This paper studies a queuing model of the N-design multi-skill call center. In this model, there are two types of customers and two server groups who have different skills. Group 1 consists of specialized servers who can only serve one type of customers, Group 2 consists of flexible servers who can serve both two types of customers. The customers waiting for the service in the queue may leave t...
متن کاملA Facility Location Problem with Tchebychev Distance in the Presence of a Probabilistic Line Barrier
This paper considers the Tchebychev distance for a facility location problem with a probabilistic line barrier in the plane. In particular, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for this problem that minimizes the total Tchebychev distance between a new facility and the existing facilities. A numerical example is solved to show the validity of the developed model. Becau...
