Shunting of Passenger Train Units: an Integrated Approach

Kroon, Kroon, L.G.; Lentink, Lentink, R.M.; Schrijver, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2006

In this paper, we describe a new model for the Train Unit Shunting Problem. This model is capable of solving the matching and parking subproblems in an integrated manner, usually requiring a reasonable amount of computation time for generating acceptable solutions. Furthermore, the model...

Mathematical models for planning support

Kroon, Kroon, L.G.; Zuidwijk, Zuidwijk, R.A. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2003

In this paper we describe how computer systems can provide planners with active planning support, when these planners are carrying out their daily planning activities. This means that computer systems actively participate in the planning process by automatically generating plans or partial...

An Inventory Model with Dependent Product Demands and Returns

van der Laan, Erwin; Kiesmueller, G.P. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2001

In this paper an inventory model for a single reusable product is investigated, in which the random returns depend explicitly on the demand stream. Further, the model distinguishes itself from most other research in this field by considering leadtimes and a finite planning horizon. We show that...

How Today’s Consumers Perceive Tomorrow’s Smart Products

Rijsdijk, Rijsdijk, S.A.; Hultink, Hultink, E.J. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2007

This manuscript investigates consumer responses to new smart products. Due to the application of information technology, smart products are able to collect, process and produce information, and can be described to ‘think’ for themselves. In this study, consumers respond to smart products...
