Wu, W. (author), Liu, Xinwang (author), Zhou, Ligang (author), Qin, Jindong (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Since the development of the best–worst method (BWM) in 2015, it has become a popular research focus in multi-criteria decision-making. The original optimization problem of the BWM is a nonlinear min–max model that can lead to multiple optimal solutions, while the linear model of the BWM produces a unique solution. The two models need to be...journal article 2024

Corrente, Salvatore (author), Greco, Salvatore (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Despite its recent introduction in literature, the Best–Worst Method (BWM) is among the most well-known and applied methods in Multicriteria Decision-Making. The method can be used to elicit the relative importance (weight) of the criteria as well as to get the priorities of the alternatives on the criteria at hand. In this paper, we will...journal article 2024

Nikghadam, Shahrzad (author), Vanga, R. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)As ports are experiencing heavier traffic, the pressure to improve port call processes is increasing. Port call optimization (PCO) is one of these improvement initiatives, enabling the arrival of vessels to the port just-in-time when the vessel services, like pilotage, towage, and mooring, are all readily available. Otherwise, vessels that...journal article 2024

Kheybari, Siamak (author), Davoodi Monfared, Mansoor (author), Salamirad, Amirhossein (author), Rezaei, J. (author)To design a bioethanol supply chain, along with the transportation and operational costs, it is vital to consider more factors categorized into three sustainability pillars (i.e. economy, social and environment). In this paper, to develop a mathematical model for bioethanol supply chain (BSC), we propose a two-phase methodology; in the first...journal article 2023

Wu, K. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Consumer goods supply chains are intensifying their efforts to develop and offer green products, in order to seize new business opportunities and improve profitability. A specific type of green products concerns marginal and development cost-intensive green products (MDIGPs), like electric vehicles. As greening these products affects both...journal article 2023

DavoodiMonfared, M. (author), Rezaei, J. (author)This study introduces a general framework, called Bi-sided facility location, for a wide range of problems in the area of combined facility location and routing problems such as locating test centres and designing the network of supermarkets. It is based on a multi-objective optimisation model to enhance the service quality which the clients...journal article 2023

Nurhayati, K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Joint decision-making is one of the coordination mechanisms to address the inherent complexity of business-to-business (B2B) processes within a supply chain. Joint decision-making can be helpful to define shared goals and objectives, identify supply chain failures and opportunities, and consolidate supply chain success. Parties may benefit...journal article 2023

Nikghadam, S. (author), Vanga, R. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Cooperation between vessel service providers can improve the performance of ports. However, the potential impact of such cooperation has not yet been quantitatively addressed in the literature. We present an assessment using a port simulation model where the exchange of information has been made explicit. Cooperation is modelled as information...journal article 2023

Fahim, P.B.M. (author), Mientjes, Gerjan (author), Rezaei, J. (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), Montreuil, Benoit (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The Physical Internet (PI) is a paradigm-changing and technology-driven vision, which is expected to significantly impact the development of the freight transport and logistics (FTL) system of today. However, the development of the FTL system towards the PI creates much uncertainty for its current stakeholders. Ports are one of those...journal article 2023

Mohammadi, Majid (author), Tamburri, Damian A. (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Priorities in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) convey the relevance preference of one criterion over another, which is usually reflected by imposing the non-negativity and unit-sum constraints. The processing of such priorities is different than other unconstrained data, but this point is often neglected by researchers, which results in...journal article 2023

Mohammadi, Majid (author), Rezaei, J. (author)This paper presents a new multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, namely the ratio product model (RPM). We first overview two popular aggregating models: the weighted sum model (WSM) and the weighted product model (WPM). Then, we argue that the two models suffer from some fundamental issues mainly due to ignoring the ratio nature of the...journal article 2023

Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), Nugteren, Alex (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Rezaei, J. (author)This paper introduces an advisory-based time slot management system (TSMS) to control truck arrivals at seaport terminals with the aim to reduce congestion at terminal gates. A modeling framework is proposed, developed, and applied to assess the impact of a truck arrival shift for a case study in the Port of Rotterdam. This system is designed...journal article 2022
