Planning for the location of industrial factories within an industrial estate, however, becomes complex, given the various types of industrial plants and the requirements of utilities to support operations within an industrial park. In this research, we model and analyze bi-objective optimization for locating plants within an industrial estate by considering economic- and risk-based cost objectives. Whereas economic objectives are associated with utility distances between plant locations, risk-based cost is a surrogate criterion derived from safety considerations. Next, risk-based data are further generated from Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA), the hazard modeling program, and solutions to the bi-objective model are obtained from the Epsilon-constraint algorithm. Finally, the model is applied to a regional case study in a Thailand industrial estate, and the Pareto frontier is evaluated to demonstrate the trade-off between objectives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation9040046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]],"date-time":"2021-04-14T15:30:39Z","timestamp":1618414239000},"page":"46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Model and Analysis of Economic- and Risk-Based Objective Optimization Problem for Plant Location within Industrial Estates Using Epsilon-Constraint Algorithms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Niroot","family":"Wattanasaeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Ubon Ratchathani University, Ubon Ratchathani 34190, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6040-2509","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kasin","family":"Ransikarbum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Ubon Ratchathani University, Ubon Ratchathani 34190, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2003.08.018","article-title":"Evaluating and selecting e-commerce software and communication systems for a supply chain","volume":"159","author":"Sarkis","year":"2004","journal-title":"Eur.
