Simulation-based Resource Pooling at the Baltic Container Terminal
The aim of the article is finding an optimal set of resources for the BCT container terminal. The pool of available resources consists of three types: quay cranes, trucks (tug-masters), and yard cranes. The article illustrates applicability of BCT logistical model based on Arena simulation package for choosing a resource set with known resource productivity values, initial prices and operationa...
متن کاملOn the Power of (even a Little) Resource Pooling
We propose and analyze a multi-server model that captures a performance trade-off between centralized and distributed processing. In our model, a fraction p of an available resource is deployed in a centralized manner (e.g., to serve a most-loaded station) while the remaining fraction 1 − p is allocated to local servers that can only serve requests addressed specifically to their respective sta...
متن کاملResource pooling in the presence of failures: Efficiency versus risk
This paper studies the effects of resource pooling on system performance in the presence of failures. The goal is to understand whether pooling increases efficiency and/or reduces risk. We consider four queueing systems with different degrees of pooling (one has no pooling, one has only queues pooled, one has queues and failures pooled, and one has servers pooled), estimate efficiency via the m...
متن کاملThe Pareto principle and resource egalitarianism
This paper introduces and studies the leximin Paretian ordering, which refines the consensual leximin ordering by adding the Pareto principle to the concept of lexicographic egalitarianism. We also provide an alternative characterization of the consensual Rawlsian ordering. We introduce several new axioms, including the Permutation Pareto Principle and Internal Dominance, and study their logica...
متن کاملHeavy traffic resource pooling in parallel-server systems
We consider a queueing system with r non-identical servers working in parallel, exogenous arrivals into m different job classes, and linear holding costs for each class. Each arrival requires a single service, which may be provided by any of several different servers in our general formulation; the service time distribution depends on both the job class being processed and the server selected. ...
