The current demographic development puts even greater demands on the healthcare sector which is already struggling with scarce resources and constant pressure of cost reductions. This paper, through multiple case studies, aims to describe how automation of hospital internal logistics can be a...

A data-driven approach in production logistics is adopted as a response to challenges such as low visibility and system rigidity. One important step for such a transition is to identify the enabling technologies from a value-creating perspective. The existing corpus of literature has discussed...

Production control mechanisms have been broadly investigated by researchers, where each type of production control mechanism has different performance depending on the situation. However, the situation with high variety products in a divergent production line has been rarely studied. This paper...

We consider the Euler approximation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by Lévy processes in the case where we cannot simulate the increments of the driving process exactly. In some cases, where the driving process Y is a subordinated stable process, i.e., Y=Z(V) with V a...
