Shared storage policy allows more flexible use of space than that allowed by the dedicated storage policy. This paper addresses duration-of-stay based shared...

Real-world routing problems are often represented by large and complex models, and instances of realistic size are very hard to solve. In most cases one ca...

Since its appearance in 1947, the primal simplex algorithm has been one of the most popular algorithm for solving linear programs. It is very efficient wh...

Column generation has proven to be efficient in solving the linear programming relaxation of large scale instances of the Multiple-Depot Vehicle Scheduling ...

The fractional aircraft market is the fastest growing segment of the business aircraft industry. A fractional aircraft operation is complex - essentially an...

Column Generation (CG) algorithms are instrumental in many areas of applied optimization, where Linear Programs with an enormous number of columns need to ...

We give a didactic introduction to the use of the column generation technique in linear and in particular in integer programming. We touch on both, the relev...

This paper proposes a generalization of the proximal point algorithm using both penalty and trust region concepts. Finite convergence is established while as...

This paper presents an enumeration algorithm based on dynamic programming for optimally solving the fleet management problem in underground mines. This probl...

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...
