This paper examines location assignment for outbound containers in container terminals. It is an extension to the previous modeling work of Kim et al. (2000) and Zhang et al. (2010). The previous model was an “optimistic” handling way and gave a moderate punishment for placing a lighter...

A counterexample is given to illustrate that a key model transformation in the paper entitled "Deriving decision rules to locate export containers in container yards" [Kim, K.H., Park, Y.M., Ryu, K.-R., 2000. Deriving decision rules to locate export containers in container yards. European...

This paper considers the mobile facility routing and scheduling problem with stochastic demand (MFRSPSD). The MFRSPSD simultaneously determines the route and schedule of a fleet of mobile facilities which serve customers with uncertain demand to minimize the total cost generated during the...

Semiconductor test scheduling problem is a variation of reentrant unrelated parallel machine problems considering multiple resource constraints, intricate {product, tester, kit, enabler assembly} eligibility constraints, sequence-dependant setup times, etc. A multi-step reinforcement learning...
