The lot-sizing polytope is a fundamental structure contained in many practical production planning problems. Here we study this polytope and identify fact-defining inequalities that cut of all fractional extreme points of its linear programming relaxation, as well as liftings from those facets....

This paper studies the possible integration of long-haul operations by transportation mode and service level (defined by guaranteed delivery time) for package delivery carriers. Specifically, we consider the allocation of deferred items to excess capacity on alternative modes in ways that allow...

This paper presents a detailed description of a particular class of deterministic single product Maritime Inventory Routing Problems (MIRPs), which we call deep-sea MIRPs with inventory tracking at every port. This class involves vessel travel times between ports that are significantly longer...
