Solving a Location, Allocation, and Capacity Planning Problem with Dynamic Demand and Response Time Service Level

Table 5

Impact of doubling travel time versus doubling demand request on total capacity in static example (Figures 1 and 2).

Case Number of facilities (N)Minimum capacity (number of service units)
Original (Appendix A)Actual demand request doubled (4 requests per node)Actual travel time doubled (30 min. between every two nodes)

Case  1: (worst case) all requests arrive at time 0.
Case  2: (average case) half of the requests arrive at time 0, the other half at the 30th minute in an hour.
