Supply chains are subject to various types of disruptions. In this paper, we analyze the problem of locating facilities in a supply chain under random disruptions on facilities. We present a new reliable location model called ‘the α-reliable Minimax regret’ which we apply it to the capacitated reliable fixed charge location problem. The model minimizes the worst-case regret with respect to a subset of worst-case scenarios whose collective probability of occurrence is at least α. The model is solved by CPLEX. Computational Results show it is efficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
