Creating Balanced and Connected Clusters to Improve Service Delivery Routes in Logistics Planning
A challenging problem in real world logistics applications consists in planning service territories for customer deliveries, in contexts where customers must be clustered into groups that satisfy various conditions such as balance and connectivity. In this paper we propose new algorithms for producing such clusters based upon special procedures for exploiting Thiessen polygons. Our methods are ...
متن کاملBalanced clusters and diffusion process in signed networks
In this paper we study the topology effects on diffusion process in signed networks. Considering a simple threshold model for diffusion process, it is extended to signed networks and some appropriate definitions are proposed. This model is a basic model that could be extended and applied in analyzing dynamics of many real phenomena such as opinion forming or innovation diffusion in social netwo...
متن کاملTransport Logistics Planning with Service-Level Constraints
In this paper, we study a logistics problem arising in military transport planning. A military organization operates a large fleet of vehicles in a depot to serve the requests of various operational units. Each request has a fixed start and end time, and is served by a prescribed number of vehicles. We address the following two problems: (1) how many vehicles are at least needed to meet a given...
متن کاملPricing Of Delivery Service In A Logistics Network
In this paper the problem of finding a computational fast method for pricing of the delivery service in a logistics network has been analyzed. The objective is to develop a supporting method for effective interaction among logistics service providers and customers. We make use of an analytical function to predict the final total cost of distribution and to develop an interaction protocol that, ...
متن کاملHealth workforce planning in Europe: Creating learning country clusters.
In this article, the different dimensions and determinants of health workforce planning (HWF) are investigated to improve context-sensitivity and mutual learning among groups of countries with similar HWF characteristics. A novel approach to scoring countries according to their HFW characteristics and type of planning is introduced using data collected in 2012 by a large European Union project ...
