Effective algorithms for integrated scheduling of handling equipment at automated container terminals

Meersmans, P.J.M.; Wagelmans, A.P.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2001

container terminal, where the objective is to minimize the makespan of the schedule. We present a Branch & Bound algorithm that … uses various combinatorial lower bounds. Computational experiments show that this algorithm is able to produce optimal or …

Dynamic Scheduling of Handling Equipment at Automated Container Terminals

Meersmans, P.J.M.; Wagelmans, A.P.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2001

container terminal in a dynamic environment. This means that the handling times are not known exactly beforehand and that the … order in which the different pieces of equipment handle the containers need not be specified completely in advance. Instead …

Simple heuristics for push and pull remanufacturing policies

Laan, E.A. van der; Teunter, R.H. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2004

Inventory policies for joint remanufacturing and manufacturing have recently received much attention. Most efforts, though, were related to (optimal) policy structures and numerical optimization, rather than closed form expressions for calculating near optimal policy parameters. The focus of...

Periodic Review, Push Inventory Policies for Remanufacturing

Mahadevan, B.; Pyke, D.F.; Fleischmann, M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), ERIM … - 2002

develop several heuristics based on traditional inventory models. We also investigate the performance of the system as a … performance of the heuristics on a set of sample problems. We find that the average error of the heuristics is quite low. …
