This paper presents a model for a dock assignment problem, where trailers need to be assigned to gates for a given period of time for loading or unloading activities. The parking lot is used as a buffer zone. Transportation between the parking lot and the gates is performed by additional...

We consider a time-indexed formulation for the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem. We show that all polyhedral knowledge known from the single machine problem (in particular, valid inequalities) is applicable to this formulation. We present new facet-inducing valid inequalities and a...
