ITIL is a large collection of best practices, tools and methods used in the management and handling of IT services. It's composed of five books related to the most important IT management fields. In this paper, we will place the emphasis on the Service Operation field in ITIL and more precisely, on the incident management process used for managing the life cycle of IT incidents. The main idea is to...
Nobody likes sitting in a car which is in a traffic jam. If you are in a traffic jam, you think over the opportunities how you could escape from it as soon as possible. In this paper, an imaginary system is introduced which supports the car drivers of a city. The intelligent route planner system could show how you can more easily avoid the traffic jams of the city. Moreover, it provides other actual...
The technology roadmapping field has evolved over time from the first and second generation technology roadmaps to the current third generation roadmaps. As a strategy and policy formulation tool, technology roadmaps proved to be useful in facilitating learning and consensus across the firm or across the industry. Similarly, technology roadmaps have been used as a process to operationalise the strategies...
This work consists in presenting an information system for planning routes for deliveries of goods. A company that has many products to be delivered in different places find it difficult to define the best combination of loads to be carried, and what better vehicle availability, and lower cost route for the delivery of goods in load order. With the system it is intended itinerary delivery of the goods...
The development of international sourcing and overseas flows are at the core of Renault's supply chain strategy. In order to link distant assembly plants with suppliers, Renault relies on a worldwide network of cross-dock logistics platforms. These centers act both as information and physical consolidation point. In other words, from the point of view of an assembly plant, the logistic center performs...
In this work we address the problem of inventory and routing management in a retail chain. This involves the minimisation of two contradicting objectives, inventory holding costs and transportation costs, but which can be compounded in to a single one, the global costs. In previous work we addressed this using a single objective evolutionary algorithm but the duality inherent in the problem prompts...
Developing countries can take advantage from the adoption of applications that automate the scheduling of public transportation. However, the adopted solutions must suit the peculiarities of those countries, in particular the very dynamic situation of the road and of the traffic, and also the specific management of drivers. Moreover, the solutions should have an affordable cost for this kind of countries...
Electric Vehicles (EV) are promoted world-wide as an effective approach to address gasoline consumption and transportation emission problems. In China, state-owned electric power companies are taking the lead in Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure area, in which the EV charging facility network construction is a key topic. This paper introduces a quantitative EV charging facility planning...
In this study, we consider congested situation and edge choosing problem simultaneously in the VRP transportation planning and this problem is called the Time Dependent Alternative Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (TDAVRPTW). Given a multi- graph, the problem can be formulated into a mixed integer programming model with continuous dependent travel time functions. Numerical example shows the...
Both areas, airline planning and railway planning, have attracted a significant interest from the operations research and optimization community during the past decades. Although both areas have significant similarities, i.e. transport of people and goods according to specified schedules, the dissimilarities seem to prevail due to the mostly separate developments of these fields. In this paper we...
Public traffic trip is a sustainable planning to solve the facing problem of global urban transport. But, the characteristics of public traffic with low capacity, few traffic volume, slowly rate, poorly real-time and bad flexibility in China become the major obstacles. Therefore, public traffic strategy becomes a common view but not easy to extend. So the paper is trying to use the principles of Traffic...
This study combines the ASP and Access technologies to establish a logistics transportation planning system, its main functions include: new companies, company inquiries, and new orders, inquiries about vehicle dispatching, stock inquiries, inquiries of distribution, and inquiries of the best route of the product transportation. With the assistance of this system, we hope the diagrammatic interface...
In this paper, we suggest efficient heuristics to solve a cooperative transportation planning problem that is motivated by a scenario found in the German food industry. After an appropriate decomposition of the entire problem into sub problems, we obtain a set of rich vehicle routing problems (VRP) including due dates for the delivery of the orders, capacity constraints and maximum operating time...
To incorporate existing and new information tools, in particular optimization methods and software, an integrated resource management system was proposed for ferry companies. The system adopts a hierarchical system architecture which incorporates all the modules in the three layers: the supporting layer, the application layer, and the management and control layer. The blank ticket rolls were considered...
Paper provides the concept for production sequence planning and control using ABC classification. This problem is specified in the paper as organization problem of production orders flow, which involves: planning of production orders flow, control of production orders flow. Within this concept we modified concern restrictions catalogue and proposed a new structure for car information card, which is...
