• AN OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR LOCATION ROUTING PROBLEM IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT

Dr. Sandeep Tiwari, Sopnamayee Acharya*

Abstract


The provision of cost-effective healthcare facilities becomes particularly important for a developing country. For a mobile healthcare facility, a closed tour with stops selected from a given set of population nodes has to be found. This is a location routing problem in healthcare management sector considered as a multi-objective combinatorial optimization formulation. Tours are evaluated according to three criteria: (i) An economic efficiency criterion related to the tour length, (ii) the criterion of average distances to the nearest tour stops and (iii) a coverage criterion measuring the percentage of the population unable to reach a tour stop within a predefined maximum distance.


Keywords


Facility location; Metaheuristics; Mobile healthcare; Multi-criteria decision making; Routing.
