Tiivistelmä: | Many location models minimize the distances between facilities. This is appropriate when locating service facilities. However, if one is locating an obnoxious facility, such as a garbage dump, a chemical plant or a nuclear reactor, closeness is undesirable. In such cases a model maximizing distance may be more appropriate. A survey of the maximization location models in the Operational Research literature is presented and a synthesis of the solution procedures with emphasis on similarities and differences is provided. The survey is limited to those models whose objective functions involve distances. Throughout, a number of unsolved problems are discussed and directions for future research in this area are identified. |
