  2. 1. Coordinated Routing : applications in location and inventory management

    Author : Henrik Andersson; Peter Värbrand; Marielle Christiansen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; coordinated routing; inventory routing; ship routing; location; decision support; mathematical modeling; Optimization; systems theory; Optimeringslära; systemteori;

    Abstract : Almost everywhere, routing plays an important role in everyday life. This thesis consists of three parts, each studying different applications where routing decisions are coordinated with other decisions. A common denominator in all applications is that an intelligent utilization of a fleet of vehicles is crucial for the performance of the system. READ MORE

  4. 2. Analysis of Lateral Transshipments in Inventory Systems

    Author : Stefan Vidgren; Produktionsekonomi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Queueing theory; Inventory control; Stochastic; Lateral transshipments; Optimization;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on two scientific papers. In these papers we study how one can approximate the inventory level of probabilities and the transshipment rates for inventory systems that apply lateral transshipment policies. READ MORE
