A critical aspect of operating an airline is to continuously maintain adequate staffing levels of qualified crewmembers. The airline must be able to plan sev...

Column generation is often used to solve problems involving set partitioning constraints, such as vehicle routing and crew scheduling problems. When these co...

In this article, we optimally solve an integrated production and material handling scheduling problem. Traditionally, scheduling problems consider machines a...

This paper describes a real-time fleet-management system for an underground mine. Dispatching, routing, and scheduling are handled simultaneously, taking...

This paper presents a solution approach for routing a fleet of automated vehicles on haulage networks having one-lane bidirectional road segments. The solu...

The paper analyzes a differential game model of a two-member marketing channel. A manufacturer invests in national advertising with the purpose of improving ...

We investigate the effects of retailer's myopic behavior on channel members strategies and on sales in a single-manufacturer single-retailer distribution ne...

The paper considers a channel of distribution consisting of a single manufacturer and retailer. The manufacturer advertises in national media, to build up t...

This article traces the evolution of ambulance location and relocation models proposed over the past thirty years. The models are classified in two main ca...

This paper deals with dispatching systems in open-pit mines. It illustrates the different strategies that exist for solving the dispatching problem and ana...

Cet article de vulgarisation donne un bref aperçu des travaux réalisés en gestion des opérations dans les grands réseaux de transport. On y fait principalem...

This paper examines dynamic advertising and promotion strategies in a marketing channel where the retailer promotes the manufacturer's product, and the manu...

This paper introduces a strong valid inequality, the 2-path cut, to produce better lower bounds for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). ...

This paper introduces a new type of constraints, related to schedule synchronization, in the problem formulation of aircraft fleet assignment and routing pr...

We consider a weekly locomotive scheduling problem encountered at Swedish State Railways. The objective is to find cyclic locomotive schedules, which minim...

There are several routing and scheduling problems faced by airline companies, notably, aircraft scheduling, pairing generation and crew bidding and rosterin...

Crew-Opt is a set-covering method that uses column-generation to produce nearly optimal solutions to crew scheduling problems. We presented this method at t...

This paper examines whether there is a substantial additional payoff to be derived from using mathematical optimization techniques to globally define a set ...

This paper presents the development of a new optimal dynamic programming algorithm for the minimization of the total traveling cost for the traveling salesm...

In many cities around the world, public transportation services are requested to provide adapted transportation for handicapped persons and people with rest...
