It begins with a foundational generic model for MCDM and subsequently develops tailored versions of the technique for specific location-related challenges. Throughout the book, MCDM is interpreted as a broad umbrella that encompasses a range of tools and methodologies for selecting or ranking existing or feasible solutions, including discrete multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, which often involve an attribute table that outlines the consequences of each decision concerning the given criteria, as well as multi-objective linear problems (MOLPs), which consolidate all objectives into a single optimization problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is structured in a logical and organized manner. The first four chapters serve as an introduction to the fundamental tools and techniques employed in single-objective optimization, multicriteria decision making, location analysis, and other related tools, such as statistical regression and geographical information systems. This is followed by ten chapters, each dedicated to a specific location problem and showcasing the application of a particular technique to solve it. The book concludes with a closing chapter that provides a practitioner's perspective on the location process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned as a textbook for upper-undergraduate and master-level courses on location analysis, this book also holds significant value for decision-makers involved in facility location decisions. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively evaluate and select optimal locations for various purposes, whether it be for business, infrastructure, or other strategic initiatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy leveraging the power of MCDM tools and techniques, this book empowers readers to make informed and data-driven location decisions, leading to improved outcomes and competitive advantages in today's complex and rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 664g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031238758\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H.
