Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Facility location decisions are crucial in supply chain network design because they affect a firm's profitability and success. We present an example of the optimal selection of the location and size of warehouses for a Canadian company with operations across the nation. We begin with a description of the optimisation model that will be used to determine the size and location of new warehouses as well as the allocation of branches to warehouse. We will then discuss the characteristics of the company and explain the challenges that were overcome in fitting the application to the model. We continue with an analysis of the solutions and follow that with a summary of lessons learned.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
