Abstract

This chapter presents another real-life case study which is about a location selection problem for frozen food plants. It serves as applications of the two-stage fuzzy random facility location model with recourse and fixed capacity (FR-FLM-RFC, Chap. 5) and the two-stage fuzzy stochastic programming with VaR (FSP-VaR, Chap. 6) in location selection with fixed capacity.
