Integrated optimization of safety stock and transportation capacity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a segment of a supply chain comprising an inventory system and a transportation system that cooperate in the fulfillment of stochastic customer orders. The inventory system is operated under a discrete time (s, q) policy with backorders. In a system of this kind accumulated backorders introduce lumpiness of transportation demand into the system. We study the connection between the safety stock and the number of available transportation resources, for example the vehicle fleet size.

This paper provides a highly integrated solution approach for rolling stock planning problems in the context of intercity passenger traffic. The main contributions are a generic hypergraph based mixed integer programming model and an integrated algorithm for the considered rolling stock rotation planning problem. The new developed approach is able to handle a very large set of industrial railwa...
متن کاملA Note on Runway Capacity Definition and Safety
The following is a discussion on the different aspects of the term capacity as well as a brief look at the commonly used capacity definitions in industrial and operations engineering in general and in Civil Aviation in particular. We maintain that quality factors (including more specifically here, safety) must be explicitly considered in runway capacity definition, and accordingly, we provide a...
