This Second Edition remains the only hands-on guide to using and developing facility location models. It offers a practice-oriented introduction to model-building methods and solution algorithms complete with software for solving classical problems of realistic size and end-of-chapter exercises to enhance reader understanding. The book introduces readers to the key classical location problems (covering, center, median, and fixed charge); discusses real-world extensions of the basic models used in locating; outlines a host of methodological tools for solving location models; and much more.Content:
