Supporting the Search for the Optimal Location of Facilities

چکیده
Solving the problem of locating services in a given context requires a methematical abstraction so that its complexity can be managed by means of an iterative search through context simulations. Keeping the interface between planners and the model within planners’ knowledge domain is achieved by an interactive tool that encourages exploration and comparison among different possible solutions. Additionally workspaces, for managing conveniently multiple parameter-sets, are introduced together with other tools to improve the ability of getting a proper insight of each change to the plan.

Solving the competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of competitor with a hybrid algorithm including Tabu Search and exact method
In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Model for a Capacitated Location-allocation Problem with Bernoulli Demand using Sub-sources
This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...
