It begins with a generic model for MCDM and subsequently develops specific versions of the technique for particular location problems. Throughout the book, MCDM is understood to encompass all tools and techniques that choose or rank existing or feasible solutions, including discrete multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, which typically include an attribute table that specifies the consequences of each decision with regard to the given criteria, as well as multi-objective linear problems (MOLPs), which incorporate all objectives in a single optimization problem. The book is organized as follows: the first four chapters introduce readers to the basic tools and techniques used in single-objective optimization, multicriteria decision making, location analysis, and other tools, such as statistical regression and geographical information systems. This is followed by ten chapters on model applications, each of which introduces readers to a specific location problem and applies one technique to solve it. The book is then wrapped up in a closing chapter that looks at the location process from a practitioner?s point of view. This book is intended as a textbook for upper-undergraduate and master-level courses on location analysis. It will also benefit decision-makers who actually need to locate facilities. . 410 0$aInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science,$x2214-7934 ;$v338 606 $aOperations research 606 $aGeography 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 606 $aGeography 606 $aDevelopment Studies 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aOperations Research and Decision Theory. 615 24$aGeography. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 676 $a327.120971 676 $a658.403 700 $aEiselt$b Horst A.$f1950- 702 $aMarianov$b Vladimir 702 $aBhadury$b Joyendu$f1964- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910678248103321 997 $aUNINA
