Sustainable logistics concepts mainly focus on strategicdecision levels for example in supply chain design,warehouse location and standard transport mode selectiondecisions. This paper is addressing a more operativeapproach and analyzing green concepts for day-to-daylogistics decisions, commonly...

In logistics sustainability concepts such as CO2 footprint measurement, greenlogistics or empty transport reduction are developed and used in relative isolationfrom important future technology trends such as RFID, GPS or processautomation. This research contribution seeks for an integrated view...

Im Bereich des Schienengüterverkehrs spielt die betriebswirtschaftliche Zielsetzungder Leerfahrtenoptimierung im Sinne einer Reduktion von Leertonnenkilometern einebedeutende Rolle für die Effizienz des Verkehrsträgers. Potenziale zur weiteren Leerfahrtenoptimierunglassen sich insbesondere im...

Essential for rail transport performance is the specific transport optimization due to a high bandwidth of traction capacities per train. Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an interesting modelling environment due to three specific...

Supply chain management concepts largely rely on cooperation. Therefore the economic success of companieswithin supply chain cooperations depends on the ability and capacity of these companies to build up and nourishcooperation relations. This capacity with its ‘social factor inputs’ as e.g....

Capacity management modelling is a broad field with a huge number of discussion areas andcontributions. Though if applied towards service processes there are even smaller numbers ofmodels and contributions as e.g. gap and yield management models for service production. Furtheron such model...

Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an inter-esting modeling environment due to three specific characteristics: First a simple minimum optimi-zation direction of e.g. transport distances may not be feasible due to connecting transport routes...
