The configuration of the reverse logistics network is a complex problem comprising the determination of the optimal sites and capacities of collection centers, inspection centers, remanufacturing facilities, and/or recycling plants. In this paper, we propose a profit maximization modeling...

In this paper a well-known formulation for the capacitated single-allocation hub location problem is revisited. An example is presented showing that for some instances this formulation is incomplete. The reasons for the incompleteness are identified leading to the inclusion of an additional set...

In this paper we study a discretization reformulation technique in the context of a facility location problem with modular link costs. We present a so-called 'traditional' model and a straightforward discretized model with a general objective function whose variable coefficients are computed by...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in the strategic design of supply chain networks. In this paper, a literature review of facility location models in the context of supply chain management is given. We identify basic features that such models must capture to support...
