Abstract: Abstract Facilities are the backbone of many supply systems and are always vulnerable to potential attacks. Considering that when disruptions occur, limits on transportation distances are essential for many important supply systems like emergency items and perishable items, this paper presents fortification plan of capacitated facilities with maximum distance limits. The problem is formulated as a tri-level mixed integer problem, which considers capacitated facilities, interdiction, and fortification budget limit simultaneously. Then it is simplified to a bi-level problem and solved by implicit enumeration algorithm performed on a binary tree. Computational results obtained from 64 randomly generated test instances are reported along with the benefit of maximum distance limits.
