Abstract. We consider the two-echelon location-routing problem (2ELRP), a well-known problem in freight distribution arising when establishing a two-level transport system with lim...
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...
