The Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) control chart is a powerful tool for monitoring manufacturing processes. It is highly suitable for the applications where testing is destructive or very expensive, such as the automobile airbags test. This article studies the effect of the Average...

This paper presents a unified framework for the general network design problem which encompasses several classical problems involving combined location and network design decisions. In some of these problems the service demand relates users and facilities, whereas in other cases the service...

This paper presents the Tree of Hubs Location Problem. It is a network hub location problem with single assignment where a fixed number of hubs have to be located, with the particularity that it is required that the hubs are connected by means of a tree. The problem combines several aspects of...

We study stochastic uncapacitated hub location problems in which uncertainty is associated to demands and transportation costs. We show that the stochastic problems with uncertain demands or dependent transportation costs are equivalent to their associated deterministic expected value problem...
