Optimisation methods for the multi-period petrol station replenishment problem: A case study at AMCS

The petrol distribution problem is well-known in the literature as the Petrol Station Replenishment Problem (PSRP). This research concerns a "rich" version of the multi-period PSRP with real-life characteristics, to represent the complexity of the practical problem. The planning is optimised over multiple days, since stations do not need to be...

An Improved Optimization Method to Increase the Truck Planning Efficiency of Landside Air Cargo

Congestion in the landside air cargo supply chain occurs for different concurring reasons. Lack of coordination between freight forwarders, as example, might create truck congestion on the ground handler side. Horizontal collaboration between forwarders can be introduced and modeled via mathematical programming to mitigate congestion. Resulting...

The impact of routing optimization on the profit of the process for EPS waste collection

In times when there is more and more focus on environmental impact, all aspects must be taken into account. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is easy and cheap to produce and has lots of applications because of its properties. These properties however, also make it a hard material to recycle. This paper focuses on a rich mathematical model for the...
