dc.description.abstract | Every year, a tremendous amount of waste cooking oil (WCO) is produced by households and commercial organizations, which poses a serious threat to the environment if disposed improperly. While businesses such as hotels and restaurants usually need to have a contract for their WCO being collected and used as a raw material for biodiesel production, such an obligation may not exist for households. In this study, we focus on designing a WCO collection network, which involves a biodiesel facility, a set of collection centers (CCs), and source points (SPs) each of whom represents a group of households. The proposed locationrouting problem (LRP) determines: (i) the CCs to be opened, (ii) the number of bins to place at each CC, (iii) the assignment of each SP to one of the accessible CCs, and (iv) the vehicle routes to collect the accumulated oil from the CCs. We formulate the problem as a mixed-integer mathematical model and solve it by using commercial solvers by setting a 1-h time limit. We also propose a decompositionbased heuristic and conduct a computational study. Our decomposition algorithm obtains the same or better solutions in 95% of all the test instances compared to the proposed mathematical model. | en_US |
