Facility Location Optimization Model for Emergency Response in Davao City, Philippines

Abstract— Healthcare Industry is suffering from the increased number of patients with covid19 and other infectious illnesses in the Philippines. As hospitals become fully loaded, and with some patients unable to travel from their homes due to severe medical conditions, an emergency response plan is deemed necessary. This study will be focusing on the Optimization Model for emergency response in Hospitals at all levels in Davao City, Philippines. Specifically, the researchers aim to identify the optimal hospital locations to support the emergency needs in all barangays (smallest administrative division in the Philippines). All hospital facility locations and the population of each barangay have been identified to analyze the optimum solution for the emergency response. Maximum Set Covering Model using AMPL was utilized to identify the optimum locations of facilities. Based on the results, additional facilities are needed to accommodate all barangays in attaining at least the mean shortest distance of 10KM, from the origin location to the nearest hospital facility.

Index Terms— optimization modeling, facility location problem, set covering problem, AMPL.
