A robust optimization approach to dispatching technicians under stochastic service times
We consider the problem of dispatching technicians to service/repair geographically distributed equipment. This problem can be cast as a vehicle routing problem with time windows, where customers expect fast response and small delays. Estimates of the service time, however, can be subject to a significant amount of uncertainty due to misdiagnosis of the reason for failure or surprises during re...
متن کاملOptimization of postal express line network under mixed driving pattern of trucks
Details about the movement of trucks on postal express lines are investigated to improve the performances of mail distribution. A mixed driving pattern of trucks is introduced to minimize the transportation cost of a postal express line network with a service level requirement. We formulate this problem as a mixed p meeting depots location with shipment scheduling problem and build a MINLP mode...
متن کاملDetermining Optimal Number of Suppliers in a Multiple Sourcing Model under Stochastic Lead Times
Employing more than one supplier and splitting orders between them is a strategy employed in supply chains to lessen the lead-time risk in unstable environments. In this paper we present a multiple-sourcing inventory system with stochastic lead-times and constant demand controlled by a continuous review, reorder point-order quantity inventory policy. We consider the situation in which the order...
متن کاملRouting Technicians under Stochastic Service Times: A Robust Optimization Approach
In this research, the objective is to solve the problem of routing repair technicians to service equipment distributed in client locations. Provided a list of requests for service, we can assign any one of K technicians to service them. Each request for service includes a deadline to begin the service Wi, and an estimated service time si, decided from the diagnosis of the problem at the time of...
متن کاملThe Dance of the Thirty-Ton Trucks: Demand Dispatching in a Dynamic Environment
THE DANCE OF THE THIRTY-TON TRUCKS: DEMAND DISPATCHING IN A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT Martin T. Durbin, Ph.D. George Mason University, 2003 Dissertation Director: Dr. Karla Hoffman The planning, scheduling, dispatching, and delivery of perishable items in a timeconstrained environment are recognized as one of the most challenging problems in manufacturing. In the concrete industry, the challenge is d...
