Facility location applications are concerned with the location of
one or more facilities in a way that optimizes a certain objective
such as mini mizing transportation cost, providing equitable
service to customers, cap turing the largest market share, etc.
Facility location problems give rise to challenging geometrical and
combinatorial problems. The research on facility location problems
spans many research fields such as operations re search/management
science, industrial engineering, geography, economics, computer
science, mathematics, marketing, electrical engineering, urban
planning, and related fields. Applications to facility location
models abound. Location of warehouses, plants, hospitals, retail
outlets are classical examples. Applications are also found in the
location of electronical components, warning sirens, sprinklers,
radar beams, exploratory oil wells. These are less obvious
"facilities." One should consider applying a location model to any
scenario that involves finding a best location (or locations) for
any object(s). This book Facility Location: A Survey of
Applications and Methods pro vides a state of the art review along
with references to important contem porary topics in locational
analysis. The book includes twenty chapters divided into four
parts, each dealing with a different aspect of location modeling
and implementation. The book concludes with over 1,200 refer ences.
The first part Methodology and Analysis consists of a survey of
method ological and technical aspects of location analysis. Issues
such as estimating distances, the error introduced by assuming
discrete demand rather than continuous one, global optimization
techniques, inference of weights, con jugate duality, and using
Voronoi diagrams are reviewed."
