Hofstee, Toon (author)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...master thesis 2023

de Vlieger, Tim (author)Offshore lifting operations must have reduced payload motion to increase safety and reduce operating time. When payload is retrieved from the splash zone to the deck, besides the crane block, no additional control can be applied on the underactuated system. Existing studies either assume more control over the payload or develop a control system...master thesis 2022

Wijnands, Patrick (author)This thesis has provided insight into how machine learning can be beneficial to path planning in container terminals. Path planning algorithms can be used in environments with automated vehicles. A well known algorithm is the A* path planning algorithm, which is the fastest optimal path planning algorithm under satisfied conditions. However, the...master thesis 2022

Lokin, Job (author)In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a resolution to reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses of maritime shipping in the near future. A reduction of 50% in CO2-emissions is the goal for the year 2050 in comparison to 2008. Furthermore, the peak in emissions should lie before 2025 and steadily decrease afterwards.<br/...master thesis 2022

Robinson, Alex (author)Industrial electric motors are at the heart of almost every industry. They are a 47 billion USD market in 2020 and consume 70% of all industrial electricity. They are generally paired with a gearbox and load, which is referred to as an electric gearmotor system. Being so essential means that it is important to avoid failures, 98% of 300...master thesis 2022

Nanninga, Michiel (author)Covid-19, the Suez canal blockade and a decreasing amount of larger shipping companies have changed the container shipping industry. A power shift from the exporter towards the shipping companies is occurring, paired with capacity constraints and surging container transportation prices indicating a global container shortage. Exporters of large...master thesis 2022

Terwindt, Maurits (author)This thesis looks into the link between the Volkswagen emission scandal, or dieselgate, and the strong rise of electric vehicles in the years following that event. In order to investigate this, a framework is build that describes the process of an innovation (the electric vehicle), taking over from an incumbent technology (fossil fuel cars), in...master thesis 2022

Koev, Vladimir (author)In time of fast globalization and urbanization, the volumes of transported containers have significantly increased in the last decades. The challenges of operating with high volumes of containers have propagated from the deep-sea terminals into the hinterland network resulting in extensive use of road transportation, long waiting times and high...master thesis 2021

Broersma, Cedric (author)Container liner shipping organisations facilitate trade between all regions globally by deploying vessels in a network with a corresponding sailing schedule. Since the container shipping network is part of a larger network, it is favourable for the continuation of the supply chain to maintain this schedule. Although the importance of the...master thesis 2021

Joon, Peter (author)Planning the on-site transportation of large manufacturing sites is a complex process. Currently these plans are made based on the on-site logistics constraints rather than on KPIs. Research has been focused on either analysis of system parameters or generally on KPIs, but lacks the combination of both on real-life cases. This gap is closed by...master thesis 2020

Bouwstra, Pieter (author)E-grocers are grocery markets which offer their assortment online and deliver a customer's groceries at home. For an e-grocer the quality of their delivery service is a crucial asset to create and maintain a loyal customer-base. Because the online share of the grocery market has grown rapidly over the last decade, there is an urgent need for e...master thesis 2020

Planning of production Applied approach for reducing planning nervousness and increasing flexibilityVogel, Bert (author)Several different kinds of Miracoli Dinner kits are produced on Line 4 in Oud-Beijerland. The current method of planning of production is not sufficient in terms of product availability and planning nervousness. A new method of Most-Urgent-First planning is proposed and a simulation is run to measure the performance in order to see if another...master thesis 2019
