In this paper, the authors address the distribution of efficiency gains among partially autonomous supply networkactors in a manner they will accept as fair and as an incentive to cooperation. The problem is economicallysignificant because it requires substantiating efficiency gains in an...

Im Bereich des Schienengüterverkehrs spielt die betriebswirtschaftliche Zielsetzungder Leerfahrtenoptimierung im Sinne einer Reduktion von Leertonnenkilometern einebedeutende Rolle für die Effizienz des Verkehrsträgers. Potenziale zur weiteren Leerfahrtenoptimierunglassen sich insbesondere im...

The addressed scientific problem is the purpose to distribute the efficiency gains among partially autonomousactors in a supply web in a manner that the actors accept as fair and thus find it advantageous to cooperate witheach other.There are three reasons why this problem is economically...

Supply chain management concepts largely rely on cooperation. Therefore the economic success of companieswithin supply chain cooperations depends on the ability and capacity of these companies to build up and nourishcooperation relations. This capacity with its ‘social factor inputs’ as e.g....

Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an inter-esting modeling environment due to three specific characteristics: First a simple minimum optimi-zation direction of e.g. transport distances may not be feasible due to connecting transport routes...
