- 1 - Efficient Lot - Sizing Procedures for Material Requirements Planning Systems

This paper proposes two constructive heuristics for the well-known single-level uncapacitated dynamic lot-sizing problem. The proposed heuristics, called nLPC and nLPC(i), are developed by modifying the average period cost concept from Silver and Meal’s heuristic, commonly known as Least Period Cost (LPC). An improved tie-breaking stopping rule is also proposed in this paper. The computational ...

Models for Evaluating and Planning City Logistics Systems

City Logistics aims to reduce the nuisances associated to freight transportation in urban areas while supporting the economic and social development of the cities. The fundamental idea is to view individual stakeholders and decisions as components of an integrated logistics system. This implies the coordination of shippers, carriers, and movements as well as the consolidation of loads of severa...

Urban city planning in semi-immersive virtual reality systems

Virtual reality based geographic information systems (VRGIS) have been successfully employed for urban planning and architectural design in recent years. Tracking technologies and stereoscopic visualization of three-dimensional structures allow a better insight into complex datasets. Unfortunately, these systems often lack intuitive interaction concepts and therefore reduce VRGIS to advanced vi...

City Planning Approach for Rebuilding Enterprise Information Systems: The Move towards a More Effective EIS City Planning Approach

ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Junichi Iijima, whose insightful advice and guidance have been indispensable throughout my period of study at Tokyo Institute of Technology. Thanks are also due to the other members of my thesis committee—Professors Motoshi Saeki, Norihiro Nakai, Kunihiro Higa Dai Senoo, and Hiroyuki Umemuro—who have offered valuable ...
