We consider a multiperiod stochastic capacitated facility location problem under uncertain demand and budget in each period. Using a scenario tree representation of the uncertainties, we formulate a multistage stochastic integer program to…
In this paper we propose an annealing based framework to incorporate inequality constraints in optimization problems such as facility location, simultaneous facility location with path optimization, and the last mile delivery problem. These…
Downtime of industrial assets such as wind turbines and medical imaging devices comes at a sharp cost. To avoid such downtime costs, companies seek to initiate maintenance just before failure. Unfortunately, this is challenging for the…
In the era of industry 4.0, procurement in supply chain management is the key to developing information management systems. It directly affects production planning failure. In this case, it is the process to prepare and confirming the…
In order to ensure efficient flow of goods in an automated warehouse and to guarantee its continuous distribution to/from picking stations in an effective way, decisions about which goods will be delivered to which particular picking…
Many multiobjective real-world problems, such as facility location and bus routing, become more complex when optimizing the priorities of multiple stakeholders. These are often modeled using infinite classes of objectives, e.g., $L_p$ norms…
In this paper, we address the problem of capacitated facility location problem with penalties (CapFLPP) paid per unit of unserved demand. In case of uncapacitated FLP with penalties demands of a client are either entirely met or are…
We study the warehouse problem, arising in the area of inventory management and production planning. Here, a merchant wants to decide an optimal trading policy that computes quantities of a single commodity to purchase, store and sell…
We present an approach for solving to optimality the budget-constrained Dynamic Uncapacitated Facility Location and Network Design problem (DUFLNDP). This is a problem where a network must be constructed or expanded and facilities placed in…
The \textit{facility location} problem consists of a set of \textit{facilities} $\mathcal{F}$, a set of \textit{clients} $\mathcal{C}$, an \textit{opening cost} $f_i$ associated with each facility $x_i$, and a \textit{connection cost}…
The classic online facility location problem deals with finding the optimal set of facilities in an online fashion when demand requests arrive one at a time and facilities need to be opened to service these requests. In this work, we study…
Every year, natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, hurricane and etc. impose immense financial and humane losses on governments owing to their unpredictable character and arise of emergency situations and consequently the reduction of…
This paper presents a mathematical model for the routing of multicommodity freight in an intermodal network under disruptions. A stochastic mixed-integer program was formulated to minimize not only operational costs of various modes and…
Software quality estimation is a challenging and time-consuming activity, and models are crucial to face the complexity of such activity on modern software applications. One main challenge is that the improvement of distinctive quality…
This paper focuses on the Facility Location Problem with Bernoulli Demand, a discrete facility location problem with uncertainty where the joint distribution of the customers' demands is expressed by means of a set of possible scenarios. A…
In the classical facility location problem we consider a graph $G$ with fixed weights on the edges of $G$. The goal is then to find an optimal positioning for a set of facilities on the graph with respect to some objective function. We…
We study the inventory placement problem of splitting $Q$ units of a single item across warehouses in advance of a downstream online matching problem that represents the dynamic fulfillment decisions of an e-commerce retailer. This is a…
We consider a two-product inventory system with independent Poisson demands, limited joint storage capacity and partial demand substitution. Replenishment is performed simultaneously for both products and the replenishment time may be fixed…
In this paper we address the problem of designing an interruptible system in a setting in which $n$ problem instances, all equally important, must be solved concurrently. The system involves scheduling executions of contract algorithms…
We study a competitive facility location problem (CFLP), where two firms sequentially open new facilities within their budgets, in order to maximize their market shares of demand that follows a probabilistic choice model. This process is a…
