In general, rental articles circulate in closed logistic systems between the lender and one or more dynamically changing customers. The planning processes, related to the allocation of those articles to custom...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A container port is a crucial interface between the maritime and the hinterland transportation. In order to improve this interface, joint efforts between truck companies and a port terminal operator are necess...
Article
Decentralized scheduling with dispatching rules is applied in many fields of logistics and production, especially in highly complex and dynamic scenarios, such as semiconductor manufacturing. Many dispatching ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The integrated scheduling of production and transport systems is a NP-hard mixed-integer problem. This paper introduces a genetic algorithm (GA) that addresses this problem by decomposing it into combinatorial...
