The Impact of Load Carrier Types and Staging-Level Designs on Cross-Docking Performance under Uncertainty: A Discrete Event Simulation Study

This research paper focuses on improving the performance of cross-docking operations under uncertainty in the context of e-commerce logistics. The growth of e-commerce sales has increased product returns and complexity to supply chains. To address this issue, this study investigates how cross-docking operations can be improved under external and...

Simulation model to assess the effective capacity of the wet infrastructure of a port

Port planning is a complex multidisciplinary subject. To fulfill its functions, it is essential that the different elements of a port work together. The full potential of a terminal can only be reached when the wet infrastructure of a port (access channel, inner basins, turning circles) can keep up with the traffic load. From the literature...

Multidisciplinaire zorg voor kwetsbare ouderen: Ontwerp en capaciteitsbepaling van een poliklinisch proces in het Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis

The Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft has concluded that care for frail elderly with impaired mobility is not always optimal. Due to multimorbidity, traditional monodisciplinary care is not the best possible care. The Reinier de Graaf Hospital set out to improve their care process to serve the frail elderly best. It was found that the target...
