Logistic processes on sea and inland ports play an important role in the context of finished vehicle logistics as the vehicles are turned over for import and export here. Due to increasing dynamics and complexity, the planning and control of these processes requires high flexibility and...

Due to changes in individual demand, manufacturing processes have become more complex and dynamic. To cope with respective fluctuations as well as machine breakdowns, capacity adjustment is one of the major effective measures. Instead of labor-oriented methods, we propose a machinery-based...

In the business-to-business sector large quantities of the internationally traded goods are transported by hundreds in identical parcels inside shipping containers. These parcels are often unloaded manually, which is labor-intensive and physically demanding. In previous papers, we presented a...

The paper at hand presents a definition of autonomous intralogistics systems and a classification of intralogistics systems with regard to their degree of autonomy. Intralogistics -; a complex interplay of different logistics functions - covers the organization, control, execution and...

Purpose: Wind energy is a promising technology to produce sustainable energy. While higher wind speeds at sea result in higher energy production, they also impede the installation of wind farms. Several authors proposed optimization- or simulation-based scheduling models. This article provides a...

The online grocery market is facing big challenges. In addition to products for daily use, it is necessary to deliver fresh, chilled and frozen foods quickly and reliably to the customer. For decades frozen products have been delivered to the customers by using small cooling vans. Since some...

Purpose: This article aims to identify common structural elements in the descriptions of both approaches, enabling the application of model transformations. Methodology: Several models of both types will be compared, combining relevant concepts, i.e., entities, attributes and relationships into...

Purpose: Automobile terminals play an essential role in automotive supply chains. Due to short planning cycles and volatile planning information, the yard assignment determines terminals performance. Existing planning approaches are not able to cope with these dynamics. This contribution...
