This chapter intends to give an overview of the literature on dynamic lot-sizing models and stochastic transshipment models. These two types of models are used as a basis for developing models with substitution in the following chapters. Section 2.1 contains a classification of models for dynamic lot-sizing / production planning, and selected models. In Sect. 2.2, we give a brief overview of av...

ABSTRACT We consider coordination among stocking locations through replenishment strategies that explicitly take into account lateral transshipments, i.e., transfer of a product among locations at the same echelon level. The basic contribution of our research is the incorporation of supply capacity into the traditional emergency transshipment model. We formulate the capacitated production case ...

Unlike the Newsvendor model, a system based on lateral transshipments allows the unsold inventories to be moved from locations with surplus inventory to fulfill more unmet demands at stocked out locations. Both models were thoroughly studied and researches were usually confined to cost minimization or profit maximization. In this paper, we proposed a more realistic multiobjective study of both ...

Ongoing globalization causes increasing transportation rates and transshipment volumes at sea ports (Steenken, 2004). Different to container transshipment, the transshipment of finished vehicles has received only minor attention in research yet (Mattfeld and Kopfer, 2003). By means of statistics for major ports of the North-West European coast line the structure and development of vehicle trans...

In this paper we present the application of the PLATFORM simulation tool to the evaluation of alternative management strategies of intermodal terminals. First, the Platform simulation tool is briefly introduced, then it is used in the context of Cost benefit Analysis and Multi Criteria Analysis to assess the impact of alternative investements in terminal management: adoption of computer based m...
