Metaheuristics for the Order Batching Problem in Manual Order Picking Systems

Henn, Sebastian; Koch, Sören; Doerner, Karl F.; … - In: BuR - Business Research 3 (2010) 1, pp. 82-105

In manual order picking systems, order pickers walk or drive through a distribution warehouse in order to collect items which are requested by (internal or external) customers. In order to perform these operations efficiently, it is usually required that customer orders are combined into (more...

Optimal Continuous Order Quantity (s,s) Policies

Bázsa, Emöke; den Iseger, Peter - 2001

The most recent optimization algorithm for (s, S) order policies with continuous demand was developed byFedergruen and Zipkin (1985). This was also the first efficient algorithm, which uses policy iteration instead ofdiscretization. Zheng and Federgruen (1991) developed an even more efficient...

Single Item Inventory Models

Bázsa, Emöke; den Iseger, Peter - 2001

This paper extends a fundamental result about single-item inventory systems. This approachallows more general performance measures, demand processes and order policies, and leads toeasier analysis and implementation, than prior research. We obtain closed form expressions forthe Laplace...

Yang, Guangyuan; Dekker, Rommert - 2010

In equipment-intensive industries such as truck manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, photo copiers,and airliners, service parts are often slow moving items for which, in some cases, the transshipment timeis not negligible. However, this aspect is hardly considered in the existing spare...

Integrating Pricing and Inventory Control: Is it Worth the Effort?

Gimpl-Heersink, Lisa; Rudloff, Christian; Fleischmann, … - In: BuR - Business Research 1 (2008) 1, pp. 106-123

In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand functions the benefits of integration with inventory control...

Profit-oriented shift scheduling of inbound contact centers with skills-based routing, impatient customers, and retrials

Helber, Stefan; Henken, Kirsten - 2007

This paper presents a profit-oriented shift scheduling approach for inbound contact centers. The focus is on systems in which multiple agent classes with different qualifications serve multiple customer classes with different needs. We assume that customers are impatient, abandon if they have to...
