This paper provides an analytical solution for the time-dependent performance evaluation of truck handling operations at an air cargo terminal. The demand for loading and unloading operations is highly time-dependent and stochastic for two classes of trucks. Two heterogeneous handling facilities...

Flow production lines with finite buffer capacities are used in practice for mass production, e.g., in the automotive and food industries. The decision regarding the allocation of buffer capacities to mitigate throughput losses from stochastic processing times and unreliable stations is known as...

Product rollovers take place when a product generation is replaced by a successor generation. The problem of deciding on the number of old products to be pre-produced before the introduction period, and then deciding on the prices, sales volumes, and production volumes of the old and the new...
