Distances between locations are calculated using either approximated driving distances (continental U.S. only) or straight-line distances. - Once a plant is opened, we assume that it remains open until the end of the planning horizon. Similarly, once a plant is expanded, its size cannot be reduced at a later time. - - In addition to serving as a source of end-of-life products, centers can also serve as a souce for virgin materials.
