Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 運籌管理所 === 97 === This study addresses the facility location problem for the military fuel distribution centers. The fuel distribution task is one of the most important issues in the military logistics. However, the objectives and considerations for the fuel distribution center location are different for peacetime and wartime. The objective of the fuel distribution centers during peacetime is to minimize the total transportation costs. Nevertheless, the objective of the fuel distribution centers during wartime or war preparedness is to minimize the maximum travel times or travel distances to the served demands to reduce the exposure in the dangerous environment. Two models are proposed to address these two different problems. The sensitivity analysis is also performed to provide some insights for different situations and strategies.
