This paper addresses an efficient mixed integer linear programming model for a robust and
reliable medical service (MS) center location network design problem (RR/MSL/NDP), which …

This study addresses a healthcare facility location/network design problem considering
equity and accessibility. Locating the healthcare facilities, planning the capacity of …

Choosing the appropriate sample size in Sample Average Approximation (SAA) method is
very challenging. Inappropriate sample size can lead to the generation of low quality …

In order to achieve stringent greenhouse gas emission reductions, a transition of our entire
energy system from fossil to renewable resources needs to be designed. Such an energy …

This study considers a multi-objective combined budget constrained facility location/network
design problem (FL/NDP) in which the system uncertainty is considered. The most obvious …

Facility location problems (FLP) are often solved as uncapacitated facility location (UFL)
instances. Also, typical solution approaches in the literature assume that the established …

In a recent work, Alizadeh et al.(2013) studied a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation
problem in which customers had stochastic demands based on the Bernoulli distribution …

This paper investigates the network location problem for multiple-server facilities, which are
subject to congestion. A number of facilities are to be selected among several candidate …

Purpose The location of emergency medical service (EMS) facilities is a basic facility
location problem. Many scholars have examined this kind of problem, but research on the …

This paper addresses the facility location problem in the context of multiple-server facilities
subject to congestion. The objective is to select a subset of facilities from a pool of candidate …
