We consider two capacity choice scenarios for the optimal location of facilities with fixed servers, stochastic demand, and congestion. Motivating applications include virtual call centers, consisting of geographically dispersed centers, walk-in health clinics, motor vehicle inspection stations, automobile emissions testing stations, and internal service systems. The choice of locations for such facilities influences both the travel cost and waiting times of users. In contrast to most previous research, we explicitly embed both customer travel/ connection and delay costs in the objective function and solve the location-allocation problem and choose facility capacities simultaneously. The choice of capacity for a facility that is viewed as a queueing system with Poisson arrivals and expo...

In the past few decades, the evolving relations between automakers and their parts suppliers have resulted in shifts in the location of production across North America. The authors explore the ongoing structural changes to the automotive industry and explain their local, regional, and international implications. While the focus has traditionally been on the carmakers, they now provide just 22% of industry jobs: In 2007, employment in the motor vehicle parts sector in the US totaled 673,000, compared with 186,000 in final assembly. Until the late twentieth century, US carmakers produced most of their own parts and dominated the suppliers from whom they purchased their parts. Today's US auto industry remains very highly clustered in a small portion of the country. The growing importance o...
