Reliable Facility Systems Based on the p-Median Problem Subject to Edge Failures

Abstract:

The reliability of a facility system is to a large degree adversely affected by the edge facility failures. In this paper, we consider the design of reliable facility systems based on the classical p-median problem subject to edge failures. A reliable model is formulated and a scenario based algorithm is applied for computing an instance. The results show that the reliability of a facility system will increase when considering the edge facility failures in locating decision.
