How To Optimize Storage Classes In A Unit-Load Warehouse, Marcus Ang, Yun Fong Lim
How To Optimize Storage Classes In A Unit-Load Warehouse, Marcus Ang, Yun Fong Lim
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
We study a problem of optimizing storage classes in a unit-load warehouse such that the total travel cost is minimized. This is crucial to the operational efficiency of unit-load warehouses, which constitute a crit- ical part of a supply chain. We propose a novel approach called the FB method to solve the problem. The FB method is suitable for general receiving-dock and shipping-dock locations that may not coincide. The FB method first ranks the locations according to the frequencies that they are visited, which are estimated by a linear program based on the warehouse’s layout as well as the products’ …

Performance Measurement Design For A Parcel Delivery Company, Junyu Choy, Nang Laik Ma, Ping Shung Koo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
There were extensive researches on the topic of performance management in various organizations across multiple fields. Literature on performance measurements in logistics can be divided into specific measures and their application in the context or complete framework for performance measurements. In this paper, the focus of the discussion will be the formulation of the framework which handles performance measurements for package delivery service and how the metrics measure the performance and their application in the context of package delivery service.
Evaluation Of Time-Varying Availability In Multi-Echelon Inventory System With Combat Damage, Hoong Chuin Lau, Huawei Song
Evaluation Of Time-Varying Availability In Multi-Echelon Inventory System With Combat Damage, Hoong Chuin Lau, Huawei Song
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The models for multi-echelon inventory systems in existing literatures predominantly address failures due to reliability in peacetime. In wartime or even peacetime operational scenarios, unexpected combat damage can cause a large number of systems to be heavily damaged, to the extent that they become irreparable. In this paper, we study a multi-echelon spare parts support system under combat damage, discuss the replenishment policy and propose an approximate method to evaluate the time-varying system performance operational availability considering the effect of passivation. Experiments show our model works well and efficiently against simulation.

This paper is motivated by a recent trend in logistics scheduling, called Available-to-Promise. We model this problem as the multi-period multi-dimensional knapsack problem. We provide some properties for a special case of a single-dimensional problem. Based on insights obtained from these properties, we propose a two-phase heuristics for solving the multi-dimensional problem. We also propose a novel time-based ant colony optimization algorithm. The quality of the solutions generated is verified through experiments, where we demonstrate that the computational time is superior compared with integer programming to achieve solutions that are within a small percentage of the upper bounds.
