Abstract

This paper suggests the optimal blood distribution center algorithm that satisfies the minimum total transportation cost and within the allowable distribution time $T^*$. Zhang and Yang proposes shifting the location of each point that has less than the average distance of two maximum distance points from each point. But they cannot decide the correct facility location because they miscompute the shortest distance. This algorithm computes the shortest distance $l_{ij}$ from one area to another areas. Then we select the $v_i$ area to thecandidate distribution center location such that $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ and the $v_i$ such that $l_{ij}-L^*$ area that locates in ($v_i,v_k$) and ($v_j,v_l$) from $P_{ij}=v_i,v_k,{\cdots},v_l,v_j$ path and satisfies the $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ condition. Finally, we decide the candidate distribution area that has minimum transportation cost to optimal distribution area.

요본 논문은 혈액의 총 배송비용 최소화와 배송 허용시간 $T^*$ 조건을 만족시키는 최적의 물류센터 위치를 결정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. Zhang과 Yang은 각 지역에서 최대 거리에 위치한 2개 지점의 평균값이 배송제약시간보다 작은 지점의 위치를 이동시키는 방법을 제안하였으나 최단거리 계산 오류로 인해 물류센터 위치를 잘못 선정하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 지역 간 최단거리 $l_{ij}$를 구하여 $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$인 지점과 $l_{ij}>L^*$인 경로 $P_{ij}=v_i,v_k,{\cdots},v_l,v_j$에 대해 ($v_i,v_k$)와 ($v_j,v_l$)로 $l_{ij}-L^*$ 위치를 이동시킨 지점들 중에서 $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$인 지점들을 최종 후보 물류센터 위치로 결정하였다. 이들 후보 지점들 중 총 배송비용이 최소가 되는 지점을 최적의 물류센터 지점으로 결정하였다.
