Solving the combined zoning and location problem for several emergency units.
This paper discusses methods for the solution of the combined zoning and location problem for several emergency units. This is a stochastic optimization problem. The stochastic aspects include ordered preference of servers. A constraint of equal workload for the servers is also dealt with. Non-linear programming techniques are adapted for its solution.
