Multi-period Two-echelon Integrated Competitive/Uncompetitive Facility Location with Elastic Customer Demand
This paper addresses the multi-period two-echelon integrated competitive/uncompetitive facility location problem in a distribution system design. Unlike most of past research, our study allows for dynamic planning horizon, distribution of commodities, configuration of multi-echelon facility, availability of capital for investment, competition existing in stores, customer choice behavior and storage limitation. This problem is formulated as a bi-level programming model and a mutually consistent programming mode, respectively. A genetic algorithm-based heuristic (GA) is presented and compared with random search solution and mutually consistent solution (MC) using numerical example. The computational results show that the GA approach is efficient and the values of the performance index were significantly improved relative the MC.
