Multi-objective model for the location of distribution centres with cost evaluation, road access and insecurity

Abstract

This paper presents an alternative to the location of distribution centres considering a multi-objective model minimising insecurity cost and road access for a case study in the City of Barranquilla (Colombia). For the solution of the model, 15 different scenarios of variation of the importance of the proposed objectives are considered. As a basis for the design of the modelling, the characterisation and classification of the variables with the highest incidence in the location of distribution centres or warehouses are posed. It is possible to demonstrate the impact of the evaluation and analysis of the mathematical model for the location of this type of facility.

Product Quality Matching Strategy in a Dual-Channel Supply Chain: A Perspective From Mental Accounting Theory in Behavioral Finance

“…However, the price-based channel coordination mechanism may lead to double markup pricing and information distortion issues, owing to the relative interest independence of participants. In solving this problem caused by price, some researchers (Obredor-Baldovino et al, 2021; Souri et al, 2021; Zarafshan et al, 2021) consider the product quality perspective. Due to the compatibility of product quality to consumers, it can more effectively solve the problem of channel conflict.…”
