Abstract: Considering
the reliability in modeling of facility location problems is one of the most
effective ways to hedge against failures of system from time to time. In
reality, the combined facility location network design problem with respect to
system reliability has a number of applications in industries and services. In
this paper, a mixed integer non linear programming formulation is developed to
model the combined facility location network design problem incorporating the
option of facility hardening to hedge against the risk of facility disruptions.
The new mathematical formulation first considers different costs including
facility location, link construction, and transportation costs; it particularly
takes the facility hardening cost of the system into account. Then, the
proposed model is linearized by suitable techniques and, at the follow; a
practical numerical example is presented in detail to illustrate the
application of the proposed mathematical model. The results demonstrate the
capability of the model.
