In this paper, we study a dynamic fleet management problem with uncertain demands and customer chosen service levels. We first show that the problem can be transformed into a dynamic network with partially dependent random arc capacities, and then develop a structural decomposition approach...

The drayage services between a container terminal and the origin (or destination) of a shipment account for a significant portion of the total transportation cost. They are the key sources of shipment delays, road congestions, and disruptions in the international logistics network. Such a...

We consider a two-stage production system faced by semiconductor manufacturing which produces a hierarchy of multiple grades of outputs. In the first stage, a single type of input (wafer) is used to produce multiple types of semi-finished parts with dependent yield rates, and in the second...

Multistage dynamic networks with random arc capacities (MDNRAC) have been successfully used for modeling various resource allocation problems in the transportation area. However, solving these problems is generally computationally intensive, and there is still a need to develop more efficient...
