With the growth of data-driven services and expansion of mobile application usage, traditional methods of capacity and resource planning methods may not be efficient and often fall short in meeting rapid changes in the business landscape.…

This paper addresses the two-stocking locations single item non-stationary stochastic lot-sizing problem. The inventory level at each location is reviewed periodically. Items can be reordered and received from a common central warehouse and…

In the era of industry 4.0, procurement in supply chain management is the key to developing information management systems. It directly affects production planning failure. In this case, it is the process to prepare and confirming the…

Reallocation scheduling is one of the most fundamental problems in various areas such as supply chain management, logistics, and transportation science. In this paper, we introduce the reallocation problem that models the scheduling in…

This paper examines the marginal value of mobile energy storage, i.e., energy storage units that can be efficiently relocated to other locations in the power network. In particular, we formulate and analyze the joint problem for operating…

In this paper the capacitated hub location problem is formulated by a minimax regret model, which takes into account uncertain setup cost and demand. We focus on hub location with multiple allocations as a strategic problem requiring one…

Last-mile logistics is regarded as an essential yet highly expensive component of parcel logistics. In dense urban environments, this is partially caused by inherent inefficiencies due to traffic congestion and the disparity and…

We propose exact solution approaches for a lateral transhipment problem which, given a pre-specified sequence of customers, seeks an optimal inventory redistribution plan considering travel costs and profits dependent on inventory levels.…

We consider the following two deterministic inventory optimization problems over a finite planning horizon $T$ with non-stationary demands. (a) Submodular Joint Replenishment Problem: This involves multiple item types and a single retailer…

This paper introduces a new optimization model that integrates the multi-port stowage planning problem with the container relocation problem. This problem is formulated as a binary mathematical programming model that must find the…

When the traded energy and reserve products between zones are co-allocated to optimize the infrastructure usage, both deterministic and stochastic flows have to be accounted for on interconnector lines. We focus on allocation models, which…

We consider a two-product inventory system with independent Poisson demands, limited joint storage capacity and partial demand substitution. Replenishment is performed simultaneously for both products and the replenishment time may be fixed…

We consider a network inventory system motivated by one-way, on-demand vehicle sharing services. Under uncertain and correlated network demand, the service operator periodically repositions vehicles to match a fixed supply with spatial…

We study a supply chain consisting of production-inventory systems at several locations which are coupled by a common supplier. Demand of customers arrives at each production system according to a Poisson process and is lost if the local…

We consider the single-item single-stocking location stochastic inventory system under a fixed ordering cost component. A long-standing problem is that of determining the structure of the optimal control policy when this system is subject…

Addressing the Integrated Timetabling and Vehicle Scheduling (TTVS) problem is important for improving transit operations. Recently, the emerging modular autonomous vehicles composed of modular autonomous units have made it possible to…

This study addresses the difficulties associated with inventory management of products with stochastic demand. The objective is to find the optimal combination of order quantity and reorder point that maximizes profit while considering…

We consider a continuous-time model for inventory management with Markov modulated non-stationary demands. We introduce active learning by assuming that the state of the world is unobserved and must be inferred by the manager. We also…

A common issue for companies is that the volume of product orders may at times exceed the production capacity. We formally introduce two novel problems dealing with the question which orders to discard or postpone in order to meet certain…

Advanced integration of logistics systems has been promoted for the sake of competitiveness and sustainability. Such efforts will enable more globally optimal and flexible operations by efficiently utilizing transportation capacity. At the…
