This paper proposes an innovative procedure of finding efficient facility location–allocation (FLA) schemes, integrating data envelopment analysis (DEA) and a multi-objective programming (MOP) model methodology. FLA decisions provide a basic foundation for designing efficient supply chain...

This paper considers a design problem of emergency logistics network (ELN), which consists of finding the optimal emergency response facility (ERF) location and transportation/distribution scheme. We extend a cost-based model to include such a risk of facility disruptions and adopt a...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a simulation-based robust biofuel facility location model for solving an integrated bio-energy logistics network (IBLN) problem, where biomass yield is often uncertain or difficult to determine. Design/methodology/approach: The IBLN considered in...
