Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we cover basic aspects related with facility location problems involving time dependent parameters. The emphasis is put on problems defined over a multi-period finite planning horizon. A brief overview of continuous and network problems is presented. Nevertheless, most of the chapter focus on a discrete setting. Basic modeling aspects and solution techniques are discussed. Additionally, some features of practical relevance are considered. The value of the multi-period solution is introduced as a measure for the relevance of considering a multi-period modeling framework instead of a static one. Current challenges and future trends on the topic are discussed.
