van Wilsem, Rick (author)The Jones Act, limited US port facilities, and absence of Jones Act-compliant installation vessels pose significant challenges for offshore wind farm installations. These factors force contractors to explore new installation strategies, such as feedering. Feedering is an installation strategy where the wind turbine installation vessel remains...master thesis 2023

van Gijn, Max (author)This study integrates strategic decisions and operational control systems in autonomous shipping. By providing ships with situational information and adding a virtual operator, we show that vessels can make informed choices regarding their route and engine settings. To demonstrate this integration, we developed new components that were tested in...master thesis 2023

van Walsum, Joost (author)This thesis examines the trade-off relation between flexibility- and redundancy-orientated strategies and their impact on improving supply chain performance under disruptive forces. It does so by evaluating the supply chain practices at the Ministry of Defence in the Netherlands. Seeking to improve performance in terms of cost efficiency, and...master thesis 2022

van Dijk, Jurian (author)This study evaluates the impact of operational philosophy on the efficiency of omni-channel warehouses. Suppliers want to integrate an online order channel in existing infrastructure, while efficient integration of omni-channel operations is challenging due to the difference in nature of e-commerce orders and store orders. Integration of...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

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

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

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

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

Comes, M. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Feil, Wouter (author), van de Walle, B.A. (author)Resilient critical airport infrastructures affected by a disaster need to sustain minimal functionality and quickly resume full operation, while at the same time coping with the increased operational demands imposed by the unfolding disaster response. In this paper, we develop a resilience framework and model-driven approach that focuses on the...journal article 2020

Kievits, Servaas (author)Inland waterway transport (IWT) is one of the three main modalities for inland transport of dry, liquid and containerized cargo. As IWT performs well on cost-competitiveness, environmental friendliness, and congestion-related issues, authorities strive to shift freight transport from road to water. Inland waterway connections, however, are...master thesis 2019

Semenyuk, Maksym (author)In order to assist project developers in efficient offshore wind farm installation planning a decision-support tool has been developed. The tool combines Discrete Event Simulation and Black-box Optimization. The focus of the development was on providing the flexibility allowing a user to compare various installation strategies and impact on the...master thesis 2019

van Rugge, Tim (author)The introduction of MARS stands at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s new A-pier means a Clean VOP policy will be enforced. Under this regulation, vacant aircraft stands must be free of any cargo and baggage. In order to comply with this policy, KLM Cargo has to redesign its cargo handling procedure which is currently based on push logic. This paper...master thesis 2019

Mutters, Nienke (author)With an increase in amount of container terminals competition between terminals has risen. Therefore it has become more and more important for terminal operators to conduct their work as efficient as possible. Efficient terminal operations are hindered by stochasticity, which is defined as random variation in parameter values. Due to missing...master thesis 2019
