Kempenaar, Tom (author)The negatives effects of criminals are a threat to the Dutch society. In 2019, 15 percent of the Dutch citizens are victims of High Impact Crimes (HIC). Policy-makers have been mainly focused on disseminating information to businesses and individuals on how to protect themselves and their properties against crime and violence. However, an...master thesis 2022

Hermans, Bruno (author)Illicit supply chain networks are not well mapped. Regulators do not know how goods flow from supplier to retailer. There is uncertainty about whom is involved, where goods originate from, and what quantities are being shipped. Simulation models are effective tools to find measures against the distribution of illicit goods such as personal...master thesis 2022

Timmer, Xander (author)Break bulk terminal operators are constantly in search for improving the performance of their operations. The logistical processes associated with these operations are complex and identifying where improvements have the largest impact on performance therefore is as well. In this paper a combination of system thinking and discrete-event...master thesis 2022

Tjaberings, Jorick (author)The ever-increasing size of offshore wind turbine substructures and the development of wind farms at sites further offshore, with greater water depths and with extremer weather conditions, raise logistical challenges that have never been faced before. Additionally, the offshore wind industry has to deal with governments cutting subsidies, small...master thesis 2022

Zumstein, Marco (author), Chen, Qian (author), Adey, Bryan T. (author), Hall, Daniel M. (author)How bridge refurbishment projects are performed requires a trade-off between the speed and cost of the project and the amount of traffic disturbances during the project. A possible way to help reach a better balance between these two extremes is the ASTRA Bridge developed in Switzerland. The ASTRA Bridge is a 236-meter long steel ramp system...journal article 2022

Tjabering, Jorick (author), Fazi, S. (author), Ursavas, Evrim (author)The construction of offshore wind farms requires solving more and more complex logistical problems due to the increasing sizes of turbines and changing environments. In particular, the installation of substructures requires attention due to their significant impact on capital expenditures and the limited literature and guidelines available. In...journal article 2022

Mars, Laura (author)In this thesis, a simulation cost model is presented that can be used to assess the cost-effectiveness of a selection of PdM programs. The proposed model combines a discrete event simulation (DES) model with a cost model. It is specifically designed to analyse the PdM programs for the vacuum compressor pumps at Duyvis. All the PdM programs...master thesis 2021

Post, Hanneke (author)The pressure on healthcare systems is increasing all over the world. With an ageing world population, the costs for healthcare and the shortages in medical staff are continually increasing. In the Netherlands, out-of-hours general practitioner departments, or ‘huisartsenposten’, suffer from this increasing pressure in their telephone triage...master thesis 2021

Smorenberg, Marius (author)Climate change is triggering among others a larger demand for offshore wind energy. This leads to new developments of which larger next-generation Wind Turbine Generators is the most relevant. These next-generation WTGs create problems for the carrying capacity of current-day installation jack-up vessels that work according to the conventional...master thesis 2021

Nugteren, Alex (author)This thesis proposes a truck arrival shift (TAS) policy to control truck arrivals at seaport terminals. The aim is to reduce congestion at terminal gates which is caused by a lack of port-hinterland alignment. We proposed, developed, and applied a modeling framework to assesses the impact of the TAS policy for the use case of the Port of...master thesis 2021

Olberts, Olof (author)The Dutch railway system is subject to maintenance, which is carried out by a group of rail contractors who need parking space to park and prepare trains in between projects. The objective of this study is to minimise the total costs as a result of the distance travelled by maintenance trains and the preservation of the included parking...master thesis 2021

Lee, J. (author), Mitici, M.A. (author)As aircraft maintenance is transitioning towards data- driven condition-based maintenance (CBM), its cost and performance objectives need to be re-evaluated: how are these objectives related under various CBM strategies?; which objectives are conflicting?; what are the trade-offs between the conflicting objectives?; what is the impact of this...conference paper 2021

van der Wijst, Cindy (author)The brownfield container terminal at the Maasvlakte aims at realizing a zero-emission vehicle fleet to strive for its aim to be zero-emission by 2040. Therefore, the research question is as follows: “What are the consequences for costs and operational performance of implementing mature renewable energy carriers for AGVs at the container...master thesis 2020

Gopalan Achary Venkitachalam, Gopan (author)A gap in the understanding of offshore wind submarine power cables is responsible for 70-80 % of failures in recent times. The failures originate from the phases of design, manufacturing, installation and operations. Joint industry collaborations such as the Cable Lifetime Monitoring project that form the background for this thesis, are aimed at...master thesis 2020

Meulblok, Vera (author)The efficiency of a logistic service provider's network can be improved by implementing a receiver-led consolidation policy. This policy means that shipments destined to the same location are consolidated in one truck. The literature states that by doing this the costs, CO2 emissions and number of vehicle movements can be reduced. However,...master thesis 2020

Douma, E.T. (author)To identify and improve the communication or information flow for a ship production process, this thesis provides an approach to use a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model, based on Petri Net technique. By establishing a theoretical framework, the different simulation modelling options are analysed and based on practical requirements, a choice...master thesis 2020

Vendrik, Iris (author)Convention centers are facing logistic challenges due to poor performance, lack of space and governmental regulations. This research is focused on finding strategies that can improve performance while maintaining or reducing space and complying to these governmental regulations. In this research three main strategies are introduced that can...master thesis 2020

Stam, Hugo (author)The size of container ships is constantly growing over recent decades due to a continuous search for economies of scale by shipping lines. The growth of the container ships has necessitated ports to adapt, e.g. by increasing the water depth requirements. Many of the conventional onshore ports cannot receive larger ships without dredging...master thesis 2020

Cho, Yubin (author), Huang, Yilin (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Dynamic data-driven simulation (DDDS) incorporates real-time measurement data to improve simulation models during model run-time. Data assimilation (DA) methods aim to best approximate model states with imperfect measurements, where particle Filters (PFs) are commonly used with discrete-event simulations. In this paper, we study three critical...conference paper 2020
