Knowledge based decision support in airport terminal design

The state of the art in airport terminal design has essentially remained unchanged since the 1970s, relying on the use of detailed simulation together with empirical and statistical formulae for sizing the terminal. Air transport has altered considerably since then, with increased use of air travel for both business and leisure, together with the increased use of 'hub' terminals in which the te…

Optimal shipping routes and vessel size for intermodal barge transport with e…

Despite the growing role of barge transportation in the hinterland access of major seaports in Northwestern Europe, service network design for intermodal barge transportation has received little research attention. In this paper, a decision support model for service network design in intermodal barge transportation is presented. The model determines optimal shipping routes for roundtrip service…

Extending landed cost models to improve offshore sourcing decisions

The purpose of this paper is to identify the components required for more robust landed cost models given the now widespread interest in sourcing finished goods, components for assembly, and basic raw materials from global sources. This study also seeks to establish the need for broad-based participation in operationalizing such models.

Water distribution in disaster relief

The purpose of this paper is to present an operations research (OR) model for planning water distribution tours in disaster relief. Especially in situations after a disaster occurrence, characterized by instability and the immediate need of help, high-quality decisions have to be made fast. For this reason, it is very useful if planning decisions can be alleviated by a decision support system (…

A simulation based decision support system for logistics management

tThis paper deals with designing and developing a Decision Support System (DSS) that will be able tomanage the flow of goods and the business transactions between a port and a dry port. An integrated DSSarchitecture is proposed and specified and the main components are designed on the basis of simulationand optimization modules. In order to show the use and implementation of the DSS, this work …

TOPS : advanced decision support system for port and maritime chemical logistics

This paper presents a decision support system named the Tanker Operations Planning System (TOPS). It is a user-friendly software with an advanced routing and scheduling algorithm to automate and aid the operational decision making process. It considers the key operations constraints faced by the tanker owners. The advanced routing and scheduling algorithm embedded in the decision engine uses he…

A decision support system to facilitate resources allocation: an OLAP-based n…

The emergence of advanced information technologies strengthens the capability to the entrepreneur to manage and manipulate data. However, the quality of information, the capability of providing the right information to the right person, and the utilization of information are still in doubt. Therefore, increasing numbers of firms have realized and started to develop as well as improve their exis…

Simulation based decision support system for optimization: a case of thai log…

The purpose of this paper is to understand and explain how firms use simulation-based decision support systems (DSSs) to optimize container space utilization.

Using a transport portfolio framework to reduce carbon footprint

The purpose of this paper is to develop a transport portfolio framework (TPF) and explore its use as a decision support tool for shippers wanting to improve their transport system in terms of reducing their carbon footprint.

Selection of logistic service provider using fuzzy PROMETHEE for a cement ind…

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method to select the best alternative in a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) environment when the decision is taken by a group of members in an uncertain environment.

Revenue management in road-based freight transportation: Impacts of uncertain…

Freight carriers operating in a spot-market environment are faced with uncertain future capacity demand, actual revenues, and properties of freight items. They require information about the expected future consumption of limited capacity to derive suitable request acceptance decisions. The purpose of this paper is to present a new idea to improve the handling of inaccurate information on the we…

Optimal decision methods in two-echelon logistic models

The purpose of this paper is to investigate optimal decision methods under a cooperative situation in two-echelon logistic models.

Management criteria of automated order picking systems in high-rotation high-…

To develop a decision support system (DSS) and improved management criteria for operating dispenser-based single-piece automatic order picking systems (AOPS) in distribution centers, able to reduce the need for manual decision making based on personal experience or subjective judgement.

Fuzzy based appraisement module for 3PL evaluation and selection

In today’s’ highly competitive market, outsourcing logistic activities have become a global trend as it offers wide range of services including transportation, distribution, packaging, labeling, warehousing, freight forwarding and order fulfillment. The demand of third-party logistics (3PL) provider becomes an increasingly important issue for corporate seeking improved customer service, ope…

An online decision support system for transportation mode choice

Because of growing congestion problems and environmental and safety considerations, freight transportation becomes more and more a key issue in logistics in particular and in the industrial process in general. The transportation mode choice is still often made in a rather irrational way. This paper presents the outcome of surveys conducted in Belgian industry about the logistics decision makerâ…

A decision support tool for container terminal optimization within the berth …

The article deals with a current problem faced by all ports: how to enable container terminals to keep up with the development of container ships, which, due to economies of scale, are constantly increasing in size. One solution that can help small container ports solve this problem is a use of a Decision Support Tool (DST). The DST is based on simulations and identifications of the container t…
