2. 1. Towards a model for managing uncertainty in logistics operations – A simulation modeling perspective

   Author : Ola Johansson; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; risk; uncertainty; simulation; supply chain; logistics;

   Abstract : Uncertainty rules supply chains. Unexpected changes constantly occur on all levels; strategically through globalization, introduction of novel technology, mergers and acquisitions, volatile markets, and on an operational level through demand fluctuations, and events such as late arrival of in-bound material, machine equipment breakdown, and quality problems.

4. 2. Understanding information sharing in supply chains - Identifying contingency factors that impact benefits of information sharing

   Author : Joakim Kembro; Teknisk logistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Logistics; Supply chain; Supply chain management; Information sharing; Information flow; Demand data; Contingency theory; Contextual factor;

   Abstract : To increase our understanding of information sharing in supply chains the purposeof this licentiate was threefold: to review and analyze existing academic literature to describe and structure the research field; to empirically explore information sharing in a supply chain representing more than three tiers; and to explore contingency factors through literature reviews and empirical data collection. Thereby this licentiate thesis addresses several gaps identified in academic literature. READ MORE

5. 3. Container Logistics and its Management

   Author : Lars A. R. Hultén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; demand management; management; fleet management; logistics; modelling; transport systems; decision support systems; container; cybernetics;

   Abstract : In this work research on container logistics and its management is presented. Contrary to the common approach of treating this as a mathematical problem and addressing it by operations research methods, this work regards the problem in a wider perspective. READ MORE

6. 4. Uncertain demand prediction for guaranteed automated vehicle fleet performance

   Author : Sten Elling Tingstad Jacobsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobility-on-Demand; Travel Demand Uncertainty; Energy Efficiency; Chance Constraint Optimization; Gaussian Process Regression; Stochastic Model Predictive Control; Fleet Opti- mization;

   Abstract : Mobility-on-demand (MoD) services offer a convenient and efficient transportation option, using technology to replace traditional modes. However, the flexibility of MoD services also presents challenges in controlling the system. One of the major issues is supply-demand imbalance, caused by uneven stochastic travel demand. READ MORE

7. 5. Logistics Management in a Healthcare Context : Methodological development for describing and evaluating a healthcare organisation as a logistics system

   Author : Malin Wiger; Håkan Aronsson; Mattias Elg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis tests whether logistics knowledge, theories and principles can be used to provide potential patient flow efficiency improvements. By emphasizing an ideal logistics system by means of its main features and then using these to evaluate two different healthcare organisations, it is assumed that knowledge regarding patient flows can be obtained and potentials for improvement highlighted.
