As water transportation undergoes a new technological revolution, automated terminal technology has become a key issue in reducing costs and improving efficiency. However, the operation theory limitation makes it problematic for machines to cooperate effectively and operate profitably, which is...

In this paper we consider, for the first time, the setup and travel times of cranes in the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem. We first propose a new mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) for the problem without setups (BACASP), in which neither the berthing positions nor...

The current schedule management practices by the Korean Engineer, Procure, Construct companies are unsustainable. These companies are, on average, experiencing margin losses as high as -7.2%, mainly attributed to expensive construction acceleration or significant delay liquidated damages (DLDs)...

In this paper, we introduce an integrated schedule of order picking and delivery for instant delivery. The schedule of order picking, including order batching and picking sequencing, is formulated considering order delivery by depicting orders' location dispersion. The online schedule of order...

This study was conducted to investigate the problem of robust integrated project scheduling and material ordering in terms of resource constraints, uncertainty, and lag times. Simultaneous consideration of discount, non-renewability, perishability, uncertainty, and different project...

Advance patient scheduling plays a pivotal role in improving service quality and ensuring efficiency in healthcare systems. It is a daily task that health providers need to deal with in order to minimize patients' waiting times while trying to utilize the available resources efficiently. Despite...
