Modelling of Ground Handling Operations at Airport

In aviation, aircraft ground handling defines the servicing of an aircraft while it is on the ground and (usually ) parked at a terminal gate of an airport. Ground handling operations include many activities: passenger handling, ground transport, assistance in blocking the aircraft and delivery of required equipment, loading and unloading of the aircraft, including provision and operation of re...

An Operations Planner for Integrated Shop Floor Material Processing and Material Handling Operations

Planning that incorporates critical resource and part constraints due to manufacturing processing as well as material handling tolerance and kinematic requirements has not been reported in the existing literature. By integrating these manufacturing resource and part constraints using object-oriented design, our new operations planner creates immediately executable manufacturing plans for flexib...

A Resource-oriented Planner for Integrated Shop Level Material Processing and Material Handling Operations

Integrated Scheduling of Manufacturing Operations and Material Handling Tasks in the Job Shops: a Network Model

Material handling tasks in the job shops have to be coordinated with manufacturing operations in order to efficiently utilize the production resources and to reduce the accumulation of work-in-process inventory. This paper extends the traditional job shop scheduling problem by incorporating the scheduling of the material handling tasks. It provides a generic definition and a network model for t...
