Abstract

This work addresses the Bi-objective Mammography Unit Location-Allocation Problem. This problem consists in allocating mammography units satisfying two objectives and respecting the constraints of device capacity for screenings and the maximum travel distance for the service. The first objective function maximizes the coverage of exams performed by the allocated mammography devices, while the second function minimizes the total amount of equipment used. We introduce a mixed-integer linear programming bi-objective model to represent the problem and apply the Weighted Sum and Epsilon-constraint methods to solve it. The Epsilon-constraint method was able to generate better Pareto fronts. The instances used for testing come from real data from two Brazilian states obtained from the Brazilian Health Ministry.
