Pre-positioning of relief supplies is an important aspect of disaster operations management that aims at decreasing the response time by advancing procurement and storage of needed supplies. In this paper we consider commodity life-time…
Multi-stage stochastic programming is a well-established framework for sequential decision making under uncertainty by seeking policies that are fully adapted to the uncertainty. Often such flexible policies are not desirable, and the…
