A two-echelon facility location problem with stochastic demands for urban construction logistics: An application within the SUCCESS project

In this paper we present a two-echelon facility location problem with stochastic demands for the introduction of consolidation centers in the construction supply chain in urban areas. We describe the state of the art and propose a 2-stage model solved with L-shaped algorithms where several novel features are treated all together. The study is part of simulations performed during the European project SUCCESS (Sustainable Urban Consolidation CentrES for construction).
