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 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 ...
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 ...
An analytical modeling framework for determining the optimal table mix in restaurants
(IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2015)
We present a queuing theory based optimization model for determining the optimal table mix in a restaurant. The optimal table mix problem is formulated for an allotment policy in which the largest available group is allotted ...
A cooperative quay crane-based stochastic model to estimate vessel handling time
(Springer, 2017)
Having a good estimate of a vessel’s handling time is essential for planning and scheduling container terminal resources, such as berth positions, quay cranes (QCs) and transport vehicles. However, estimating the expected ...
Solving semi-open queuing networks with time-varying arrivals: an application in container terminal landside operations
(Elsevier, 2018-06-16)
Semi-open queuing networks (SOQNs) are widely applied to measure the performance of manufacturing, logistics, communications, restaurant, and health care systems. Many of these systems observe variability in the customer ...
Sea container terminals: new technologies and OR models
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)
Owing to a rapid growth in world trade and a large increase in the flow of containerized goods, sea container terminals play a vital role in globe-spanning supply chains. Container terminals should be able to handle large ...
A multi-tier linking approach to analyse performance of vehicle-based warehouse systems
(SSRN, 2016-04)
To improve operational flexibility, throughput capacity, and responsiveness in order fulfillment operations, several distribution centers are implementing autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval (AVS/R) system in ...
