This work presents a time-space network flow model for scheduling recurring bulk rail deliveries from suppliers to customers. The objective is to maximize demand satisfied while minimizing waiting times for loading and unloading the bulk commodity. The model uses a variety of information...

This study investigates sequential appointment scheduling with service criteria. It uses a constraint-based approach with service criteria bounded in a constraint set in contrast to the more typical weighted linear objective function. Properties are derived and a sequential scheduling algorithm...
