    The uncapacitated plant location problem under uncertainty is formulated in a mean-variance framework with prices in various markets correlated via their response to a common random factor. This formulation results in a mixed-integer quadratic programming problem. However, for a given integer solution, the resulting quadratic programming problem is amenable to a very simple solution procedure. The simplicity of this algorithm means that reasonably large problems should be solvable using existing branch-and-bound techniques.
