Abstract

Distribution networks have been facing an increased exposure to the risk of unpredicted disruptions causing significant economic losses. The current literature features a limited number of studies considering fortification of network facilities. In this paper, we develop a reliable uncapacitated fixed-charge location model with fortification to support the design of distribution networks. The model considers heterogeneous facility failure probabilities, one layer of supplier backup, and facility fortification within a finite budget. Facility reliability improvement is modelled as a nonlinear function of fortification investment. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear mixed integer programming model proven to be NP$\mathcal {NP}$-hard. A Lagrangian relaxation-based heuristic algorithm is developed and its computational efficiency for solving large-scale problems is demonstrated.
