Working within the location covering framework, the authors develop a mathematical programming approach for siting facilities which maximizes the extent of spatial market coverage, while maintaining threshold-demand levels for individual facility sites. The model, known as McTHRESH, can be...

The authors generate alternative location-covering scenarios for retail outiet networks by using a programming model which guarantees the spatial market 'adequacy' of individual facility sites. The notion of relative spatial efficiency is then used to evaluate these scenarios and to develop...
