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...

Human operators will remain to play an essential role in picker-to-parts order picking systems despite increasing digitalization and automation of warehouse processes. While manual order picking is a laborious and cost-intensive task in warehousing, it is extensively examined in the logistics...
