This article describes a model and an exact solution method for facility location problems with decision-dependent uncertainties. The model allows characterizing the probability distribution of the random elements as a function of the…
Companies like Amazon and UPS are heavily invested in last-mile delivery problems. Optimizing last-delivery operations not only creates tremendous cost savings for these companies but also generate broader societal and environmental…
In this article we reframe the classic problem of massive location choice for retail chains, introducing an alternative approach. Traditional methodologies of massive location choice models encounter limitations rooted in assumptions such…
The Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) and the Picker Routing Problem (PRP) have received significant attention in the literature due to their pivotal role in the performance of the Order Picking (OP) activity, the most…
We propose exact solution approaches for a lateral transhipment problem which, given a pre-specified sequence of customers, seeks an optimal inventory redistribution plan considering travel costs and profits dependent on inventory levels.…
The application of drones in the last-mile distribution is a research hotspot in recent years. Different from the previous urban distribution mode that depends on trucks, this paper proposes a novel package pick-up and delivery mode and…
One of the key issues in mobile communication is to find the current location of mobile terminal (MT) to deliver the services, which is called as location management (LM). Increasing users and diverse services demand for a high-quality…
This paper addresses stochastic charger location and allocation problems under queue congestion for last-mile delivery using electric vehicles (EVs). The objective is to decide where to open charging stations and how many chargers of each…
Location Routing is a fundamental planning problem in logistics, in which strategic location decisions on the placement of facilities (depots, distribution centers, warehouses etc.) are taken based on accurate estimates of operational…
We study mechanisms for the facility location problem augmented with predictions of the optimal facility location. We demonstrate that an egalitarian viewpoint which considers both the maximum distance of any agent from the facility and the…
This paper studies assortment and pricing optimization problems under the Two-Stage Luce model (2SLM), a discrete choice model introduced by Echenique and Saito (2018) that generalizes the multinomial logit model (MNL). The model employs an…
Understanding the locations of occupants in a commercial built environment is critical for realizing energy savings by delivering lighting, heating, and cooling only where it is needed. The key to achieving this goal is being able to…
The Ride-Pool Matching Problem (RMP) is central to on-demand ride-pooling services, where vehicles must be matched with multiple requests while adhering to service constraints such as pickup delays, detour limits, and vehicle capacity. Most…
This paper introduces a new optimization model that integrates the multi-port stowage planning problem with the container relocation problem. This problem is formulated as a binary mathematical programming model that must find the…
Activities involving transformation of raw materials, various resources and components into final products and also delivering it to the end customer incur a significant cost during the selection of location of a warehouse that can be…
We study the competitive facility location problem, where a firm aims to establish new facilities in a market already occupied by competitors. In this problem, customer behavior is crucial for making optimal location decisions. We explore a…
Facility Location problems ask to place facilities in a way that optimizes a given objective function so as to provide a service to all clients. These are one of the most well-studied optimization problems spanning many research areas such…
This paper explores a GIS-based application of the conditional p-median problem (where p = 1) in last-mile delivery logistics. The rapid growth of e-commerce in Pakistan has primarily benefited logistics companies, which face the challenge…
Optimizing delivery routes for last-mile logistics service is challenging and has attracted the attention of many researchers. These problems are usually modeled and solved as variants of vehicle routing problems (VRPs) with challenging…
