A stochastic model for the throughput analysis of passing dual yard cranes
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
New container terminal technologies such as passing dual yard cranes per stack promise increase in stacking throughput capacity. However, dual yard cranes can interfere, which reduces the cranes’ throughput capacity. Using ...
Stochastic modeling of unloading and loading operations at a container terminal using automated lifting vehicles
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)
With the growing worldwide trade, container terminals have grown in number and size. To increase operational efficiency, many new terminals are now automated. The key focus is on improving seaside processes, where a ...
Carbon footprint analysis of pallet remanufacturing
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016-07-10)
This research is the first attempt to characterize the carbon equivalent emissions associated with pallet remanufacturing operations for two repositioning scenarios (cross-docking and take-back), and under multiple levels ...
A two-level stochastic model to estimate vessel throughput time
(College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE): Charlotte, NC, 2014)
A good estimate of the vessel sojourn time is essential for better planning and scheduling Of container terminal resources,such as berth scheduling,quay crane(qc)assignment And scheduling,and fleet size planning. ...
Semi-open queuing networks: a review of stochastic models, solution methods and new research areas
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Capturing the waiting times (at an external queue) for a customer to access a movable resource is an important step towards measuring customer service and system performance in manufacturing, logistics, communication and ...
A simulation framework for studying blocking effects in warehouse systems with autonomous vehicles
(European Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2016-04-02)
Autonomous vehicles-based storage and retrieval systems (AVS/RS)
have been shown to offer greater flexibility to improve cycle time and
throughput capacity in the transfer of unit loads in high-density storage areas ...
Testing the dependence structure of the components of hybrid processes using mutual information
(IIM Ahmedabad, 2013-06)
Mutual information is a useful extension of the correlation coecient to study the dependence among multiple random processes. Hybrid processes are multivariate time series with some components continuous time series and ...
Design, modeling, and analysis of vertical robotic storage and retrieval systems
(Transportation Science, 2018)
Autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval systems are commonly used in many fulfillment centers (e.g., e-commerce warehouses), because they allow a high- and flexible-throughput capacity. In these systems, roaming ...
Robotized and automated warehouse systems: review and recent developments
(Transportation Science, 2017)
Robotic handling systems are increasingly applied in distribution centers. They require little space, provide flexibility in managing varying demand requirements, and are able to work 24/7. This makes them particularly fit ...
Review of green supply chain processes
(IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2015)
In the last few decades, environmental concerns of manufacturing operations have motivated the organisations to implement green principles in different processes of the supply chain. In this paper, literature in green ...
