Hohe Flexibilität gegenüber inhomogenen Kundenbedürfnissen, Kosteneffizienz und eine punktgenaue Lieferfähigkeit gelten als entscheidende Faktoren im globalen Wettbewerb. Damit kommt der Entwicklung leistungsfähiger Informationssysteme in der Logistik wachsende Bedeutung zu. Das Buch bietet...

Die Maschinenbelegungsplanung behandelt eines der kompliziertesten Probleme innerhalb der betrieblichen Planung. Neu entwickelte Verfahren wie Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search und Evolutionäre Algorithmen erzielen gute Lösungsniveaus. Ivo Rixen untersucht den Einsatz dieser Verfahren, die...

This paper surveys recent publications on berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and quay crane scheduling problems in seaport container terminals. It continues the survey of Bierwirth and Meisel (2010) that covered the research up to 2009. Since then, there was a strong increase of activity...

This paper presents a model for the daily planning of health care services carried out at patients’ homes by staff members of a home care company. The planning takes into account individual service requirements of the patients, individual qualifications of the staff and possible...

Due to the variety of technical equipments and terminal layouts, research has produced a multitude of optimization models for seaside operations planning in container terminals. To provide a support in modeling problem characteristics and in suggesting applicable algorithms this paper reviews...

In this paper, the combined problem of berth allocation and crane assignment in container terminals is investigated. The proposed problem formulation includes important real world aspects such as the decrease of marginal productivity of quay cranes assigned to a vessel and the increase in...

The paper considers an arrangement for exchanging transportation requests to facilitate collaboration among independent carriers. The goal is to maximize the total profit without decreasing the individual profit of the carriers. Two solution approaches are developed for this problem involving...

We present a model and solution approach for combining production and intermodal transportation planning in a supply network. A close and detailed integration of both decision fields is missing in the literature so far. The model includes relevant decisions regarding production setups and output...
