This paper proposes a new modeling method that equivalently transforms interdependent and correlated facility failures in an infrastructure system into only i.i.d. disruptions in a supporting structure. The properties of this structure are examined and a mathematical model is created to solve...

This study presents a mathematical model that designs a reliable multi-modal transportation network for a biofuel supply chain system, where intermodal hubs are subject to site-dependent probabilistic disruptions. The disruption probabilities of intermodal hubs are estimated by using a...

This paper studied an integrated logistics network problem that determines optimal supplier locations, assignments of these suppliers to terminal facilities, expedited shipment configurations, and inventory management strategies in an uncertain environment. We studied the problem structure and...
