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 ...
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 ...
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 stochastic model for interterminal container transportation
(INFORMS, 2017)
We propose a novel semiopen queuing network (SOQN) model for the interterminal transportation (ITT) problem where multiple container terminals use a common
fleet of vehicles (automated lift vehicles, automated guided ...
