A Beam Search Algorithm for Minimizing Reshuffle Operations at Container Yards
The container relocation at container yards will influence the yard operator efficiency. The problem we tackled is to retrieval all containers from an initial configuration of given number of bays and tiers with minimum number of relocations. There is no new arriving container and only the containers in the same stack above the retrieved container can be relocated. We propose a beam search (BS)...
متن کاملAn Efficient Evolutionary Algorithm for Locating Long-Term Care Facilities
This paper deals with a variant of a discrete location problem of establishing long-term care facilities in a given network. The objective is to determine optimal locations for these facilities in order to minimize the maximum number of assigned patients to a single facility. We propose an efficient evolutionary approach (EA) for solving this problem, based on binary encoding, appropriate objec...
متن کاملA Systematic Framework for Implementing Six Sigma in the Landside of Marine Container Terminals
In this research, an accurate optimization model, based on the Six Sigma methodology was used in order to assists marine container terminal operators to minimize trucks congestions. to smooth gate activity and to shorten trucks turn-around times. The main purpose of this paper is to report findings of implementing the Six Sigma in the landside of marine container terminals to reduce the average...
متن کاملCriteria of Selecting 3pl Provider: A Literature Review
Shippers are concentrating on the core competency to stay competitive and outsourcing the logistic activities to the third party who is expert in this field. This third party logistics (3PL) is drawing the due attention at government, industrial, academicians and practitioner’s levels. If the logistics cost in India can be brought down from the current level of 13% of GDP to 9% (level in the U....
متن کاملYard Crane Pools and Optimum Layouts for Storage Yards of Container Terminals
As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, competition for business is becoming very intense for container terminal operators. They are finding out that even to keep their existing Sea Line customers, they have to make them happy by offering higher quality service. The quality of service they can provide depends on their operating policies and the design of the terminal la...
