Abstract :
The authors develop a solution procedure for an ambulance depot location problem with a chance constraint and a fuzzy objective constraint. They give some assumptions and formulate the problem, which is transformed into two types of fuzzy decision problem. A theorem is presented which is useful for developing the solution procedure. The boundary of the feasible region where a chance constraint is satisfied is considered. The solution procedure is outlined
