We address an extension of the classical multi-period facility location problem in which customers are sensitive to delivery lead times. Accordingly, two customer segments are considered. The first segment comprises customers that require timely demand satisfaction, whereas customers accepting...

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...

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...
