This study concerns itself with one aspect of possible post-Apollo space activity -a pro­ gram of astronomical research on the moon that culminates in the establishment of a lunar observatory. A mathematical model is utilized to analyze the logistics implications of conducting such an astronomical research program. The na­ ture of the research equipment needed for the ac­ complishment of the pr...

Transportation is on wheels mostly .The wheel is everywhere on all our cars, trains, planes, machines, wagons, and most factory and farm equipment. What could we move without wheels? But as important as the wheel is as an invention, we don't know who exactly made the first wheel. But this invention led to the movement of goods from one place to another to transform into some usable product or a...

While the concepts of remanufacturing and reverse logistics are gaining popularity in practice, the available literature and theory on strategic decision making in these areas are limited. This paper is designed to address this gap, in particular, for the automotive industry aftermarket. In doing so, the authors reviewed literature pertaining to: customer demand(s), product design and developme...

TACTICAL MEDICAL LOGISTICS PLANNING TOOL: MODELING OPERATIONAL RISK ASSESSMENT The Tactical Medical Logistics Planning Tool (TML+) is a software program designed for Navy and Marine Corps medical planners as a tool that (1) models the patient flow from the point of injury through more definitive care, and (2) supports operations research and systems analysis studies, operational risk assessment...

A container terminal represents a complex system with highly dynamic interactions between the various handling, transportation and storage units and incomplete knowledge about future events. Hence, decentralized planning is the only realistic mode to govern logistics control of automated container terminals. We classify the specific logistics planning and control issues arising in seaport conta...

This paper purports to provide answers to the following questions with regard to multi-crane building construction sites: (1) Do such construction sites differ from smaller sites only in magnitude, or are there unique characteristics that stem from the size of the site and the multitude of cranes? (2) Is equipment planning for such projects similar to that of projects serviced by a small number...
