This paper presents a stochastic optimisation model for locating walk-in clinics for mobile populations in a network. The walk-in clinics ensure a continuum of care for the mobile population across the network by offering a perpetuation of services along the transportation lines, and also establishing referral systems to local healthcare facilities. The continuum of care requirements for different diseases is modelled using coverage definitions that are designed specifically to reflect the adherence protocols for services for different diseases. The risk of not providing the required care under different realisations of health service demand is considered. In this paper, for a multi-disease, multi-service environment, we propose a model to determine the location of roadside walk-in clinics and their assigned services. The objective is to maximise the total expected weighted coverage of the network subject to a Conditional-Value-at-Risk (CVaR) measure. This paper presents developed coverage definitions, the optimisation model and the computational study carried out on a real-life case in Africa.

A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01) In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
A resource investment problem with time/resource trade-offs Colak, Erdem; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2014-05-01) In this study, we consider a Resource Investment Problem with time/resource trade-offs in project networks. We assume that there is a single renewable resource and the processing requirement of an activity can be reduced by investing extra resources. Our aim is to minimize the maximum resource usage, hence, the total amount invested for the single resource, while meeting the pre-specified deadline. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear model and find optimal solutions for small-sized problem in...
R&D Project Performance Evaluation With Multiple and Interdependent Criteria Tohumcu, Zeynep; Karasakal, Esra (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-11-01) In this study, we develop an approach based on analytic network process (ANP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of Research and Development projects. We identify a set of criteria and subcriteria having interdependencies among themselves. Interdependency is treated using a hybrid ANP model consisting of both hierarchy and network. The interval pairwise comparison matrices are constructed in a group decision-making process. ANP is extended to obtain interval weights from the int...
A hybrid Benders approach for coordinated capacitated lot-sizing of multiple product families with set-up times Bayley, Tiffany; Süral, Haldun; Bookbinder, James H. (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) We examine a coordinated capacitated lot-sizing problem for multiple product families, where demand is deterministic and time-varying. The problem considers set-up and holding costs, where capacity constraints limit the number of individual item and family set-up times and the amount of production in each period. Using a strong reformulation and relaxing the demand constraints, we improve both the upper and lower bounds using a combination of Benders decomposition and an evolutionary algorithm, followed by ...
A new approach to neural trip distribution models: NETDIM Tapkin, Serkan; Akyilmaz, Ozdemir (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This paper develops and presents a new neural network approach to model trip distribution, which is one of the important phases of conventional four-step travel demand modelling. The trip distribution problem has been investigated using back-propagation artificial neural networks in a number of studies and it was concluded that back-propagation artificial neural networks underperform when compared to traditional models. Such underperformance is due to the thresholding of the linearly combined inputs by util...
