The book offers a unique introduction to methodological tools for solving location models and provides insight into when each approach is useful and what information can be obtained.</p> <p>The <i>Second Edition</i> focuses on real-world extensions of the basic models used in locating facilities, including production and distribution systems, location-inventory models, and defender-interdictor problems. A unique taxonomy of location problems and models is also presented. Featuring examples using the author's own software--SITATION, MOD-DIST, and MENU-OKF--as well as Microsoft Office(R) Excel(R), the book provides: </p> <p>- A theoretical and applied perspective on location models and algorithms<br /> - An intuitive presentation of the uses and limits of modeling techniques<br /> - An introduction to integrated location-inventory modeling and defender-interdictor models for the design of reliable facility location systems<br /> - A full range of exercises to equip readers with an understanding of the basic facility location model types </p> <p><i>Network and Discrete Location: Models, Algorithms, and Applications, Second Edition</i> is an essential resource for practitioners in applied and discrete mathematics, operations research, industrial engineering, and quantitative geography.
