Developments of sustainable manufacturing systems are considered as one of effective solutions to minimize the environmental impact. Design of a sustainable manufacturing system can be partially achieved through the implementation of lean methods to reduce manufacturing wastes and operational costs, and increase the system efficiency and productivity. However, the lean approach does not include environmental...
Multimodal transport offers an advanced platform for more efficient, reliable, flexible and sustainable freight transport. In order to achieve sustainable planning in a complicated transport system, it is very interesting to use methods include in the fields of operational research. In this article, we propose a mathematical model to solve the multi-objective optimization problem applied in the multimodal...
Over the last decade, it has been seen a rapid pace in research and development of RFID-based automatic storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) due to the usage of increasingly centralized distribution centers to warehouse merchandising products, which are sold using the online method. This paper presents a study of an RFID-enabled warehousing system as part of the research work for future generation...
The composition of services is used to implement complex functionality. The quality of service (QoS) is a demanding issue for the management of service compositions. A QoS-aware service selection recommends the services to be composed to account for the quality of a service composition and its execution cost incurred by requests. It is shown that in the presence of sophisticated service charging a...
The emergency logistics field is a new and particular challenge for logistics' managers. In these networks, the satisfaction of the affected people's demand is much more important than the cost minimization. Moreover, crisis managers are looking for networks that ensure an equitable distribution of resources over affected people. We propose a new mathematical formulation that reflects this interest...
A decentralised approach to control the risk in a transportation network where dangerous goods may be transported is presented. The approach is based on a graph representation of the territory where each vertex represents a sub-region of a defined extension, and links represents the dangerous goods flow from a sub-region to another. The mathematical model of the system is presented according to a...
Urban eco-transportation system is the development direction of urban transportation system; urban traffic mode structure is an all-important factor that affects the realization of it. Despite a voluminous empirical research of traffic mode structure, most of them have failed to adequately consider the ecology problem. On the basis of satisfying all requirements of eco-transportation system, and according...
Hub networks are used to connect supply and demand nodes without establishing direct connections between any origin-destination nodes. The issue is to find optimum hub locations and allocate non-hub nods to them at minimum cost and/or travel time. Multiple allocation hub location problems deal with network in which non-hub nodes can be allocated to more than one hub. In this paper we use a multiple...
Transport networks with branching structures are observable not only in nature as in trees, blood vessels, etc. but also in efficiently designed transport systems such as used in railway configurations and postage delivery networks. Mathematically, such a branching transport network is modeled by an optimal transport path between two probability measures (representing the source and the target). An...
In order to make the supply chain system to service the final customers on time, it needs to carry on the rational distribution to each operation time, but the cost-cutting of each operation time is different, so needs to seek the best time distribution scheme under the minimization of total cost. Considering the discrete and continuous relationship between the cost and time, the total operation time...
