In this paper, we deal with a facility location problem with opening, closure and reopening of distribution centers (DCs). The problem here studied considers the possibility of reconfiguring any location more than once over the planning horizon. In addition, we also consider the inventory cost in DCs where (Q, r) policy is used to meet a stochastic demand pattern. Our model intends to minimize the total costs, including transportation and inventory holding costs as well as operating, reopening and closing costs for facilities. After formulating the problem, a hypothetic example problem is introduced to exam the model's validity and the LINGO software package is used to solve the model.
