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...

This paper focuses on a multiperiod discrete facility location problem where transportation costs are considered together with location costs to design the operating facility pattern along a time horizon. The problem captures the difference in the scope of the location and routing decisions by...

In this paper we discuss the multicriteria p-facility median location problem on networks with positive and negative weights. We assume that the demand is located at the nodes and can be different for each criterion under consideration. The goal is to obtain the set of Pareto-optimal locations...

In this paper we are looking at routing and scheduling problems arising in the context of home health care services. Many small companies are working in this sector in Germany and planning is still done manually, resulting in long planning times and relatively inflexible solutions.

In this paper we introduce flexible models for capacitated discrete location problems. We describe three different points of view of a location problem in a logistics system. Different mathematical programming formulations are presented, illustrated by examples and compared using a battery of...
