摘要: |
The objective of this project is to design decision-support tools for identifying biorefinery locations that ensure a cost-efficient and reliable supply chain. We built mathematical models which take into consideration the benefits (such as accessibility to different modes of transportation), and risks associated with locating a refinery near an intermodal facility. These mathematical models capture the impact of facility disruptions on biorefinery location and supply chain design. A visualization interface is developed and connected to the mathematical models. The web-based interface enables decision-makers to input practical data related to the location problems and display chosen biorefinery locations obtained from the implementation of mathematical models. |
