Abstract:

We have broadened the classic anti-center models to include generalized-distance measures. It includes in the inherent proximity measures other cost/benefit metrics. Unlike classic data envelopment analysis (DEA), the combined location/DEA model proposed here assumes disposability of input/outputs only. It represents a more flexible formulation. The locations of multiple sites are analyzed using a binary integer program, while evaluation is performed by the full strength of a DEA model. Through a case study, we show how location and DEA models can be used together to more realistically characterize a siting decision.
