In this paper we present the use of game theoretic models to analyse the cost allocation problem in the context of repairable spare parts pooling. Two situations are studied. In the first situation, all pooling members fully cooperate without having self-interest. We use the core concept from...

We apply simulation optimization to determine the optimal design and stock distribution for a single item supply system with a one-for-one replenishment policy. We investigate both the effect of the number of echelons and the degree of resupply flexibility, considering single-echelon and...

In this paper the Discrete Lotsizing and Scheduling Problem (DLSP) with setup times is considered. DLSP is the problem of determining the sequence and size of production batches for multiple items on a single machine. The objective is to find a minimal cost production schedule such that dynamic...

Cross-docking is a logistics strategy in which freight is unloaded from inbound vehicles and (almost) directly loaded into outbound vehicles, with little or no storage in between. This paper presents an overview of the cross-docking concept. Guidelines for the successful use and implementation...

Node models for macroscopic simulation have attracted relatively little attention in the literature. Nevertheless, in dynamic network loading (DNL) models for congested road networks, node models are as important as the extensively studied link models. This paper provides an overview of...
