Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for resource position planning are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes generating a multi-commodity flow network for locations of a distributed service network over a planning horizon. The method also includes obtaining a set of candidate outage scenarios for the distributed service network, each of the set of candidate outage scenarios being associated with a corresponding probability of occurrence. The method also includes generating a resource positioning configuration for resources in the multi-commodity flow network utilizing an optimization model that reduces unmet demand for each of the set of candidate outage scenarios based at least in part on the probability of occurrence of each of the set of candidate outage scenarios. The method also includes providing the resource positioning configuration to the distributed service network to modify positioning of one or more resources in the distributed service network based on the generated resource positioning configuration.
