Hub location problems are strategic network planning problems. They formalise the challenge of mutually exchanging shipments between a large set of depots. The aim is to choose a set of hubs (out of a given set of possible hubs) and connect every depot to a hub so that the total transport costs for exchanging shipments between the depots are minimised. In classical hub location problems, the un...

Given the emergence of two-echelon distribution systems in several practical contexts, this paper tackles, at strategic level, a network design problem under uncertainty. This is defined as stochastic multi-period capacitated location-routing (2E-SM-CLRP). It considers partitioned into two echelons: each echelon involves specific location-assignment-transportation schema that must cope with fut...

The Multiple Capacitated Facility Location Problem (MCFLP) is well-known and studied in the international literature optimization problem. The geographical information data of the enterprises’ locations are usually either ignored by the modeler or entered manually in these systems. In this paper, a spatial Decision Support System (DSS) is designed and implemented enabling co-located collaborati...
