We consider a multi-period facility location problem that takes into account changing trends in customer demands and costs. To this end, new facilities can be established at pre-specified potential locations and initially existing facilities can be closed over a planning horizon. Furthermore,...

We investigate a recently introduced extension of the multi-period facility location problem that considers service-differentiated customer segments. Accordingly, some customers require their demands to be met on time, whereas the remaining customers accept delayed deliveries as long as lateness...

We address a stochastic multi-period facility location problem with two customer segments, each having distinct service requirements. While customers in one segment receive preferred service, customers in the other segment accept delayed deliveries as long as lateness does not exceed a...

In this paper, we propose a novel mixed-integer linear programming model for a comprehensive multi-stage supply chain network design problem. Our model integrates location and capacity choices for plants and warehouses with supplier and transportation mode selection, and distribution of multiple...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in the design of supply chain networks. This chapter outlines key features of facility location problems and their integration with various logistic operations in the context of network (re)design. Modeling approaches and solution methods are also...

This paper addresses a new problem to design a two-echelon supply chain network over a multi-period horizon. Strategic decisions are subject to a given budget and concern the location of new facilities in the upper and intermediate echelons of the network as well as the installation of storage...
