Abstract
The Median Problem with Unreliable Facilities (MPUF) consists of locating facilities such that the expected cost of serving the customers, considering possibility of failure, is minimized. We consider a general version of MPUF where facility disruptions may have non-zero correlation while the current approaches assume independence. We express the problem as a two-stage stochastic program and show that, independently of correlation values, some previous asymptotic and submodular results remain valid.
