چکیده

1 Introduction Transportation in modern distribution centers must be fast and reliable, robust against faults, and flexible and scalable to the dynamics of the transportation. One way to achieve these requirements is to replace conventional conveyor system with a group of autonomous mobile robots. In this work we show benefits of this approach in simulation. The investigation is an extension of the result presented in [1].

Developing a Bi-level Objective Model of Risk-Cost Trade-off for Solving Locating-Routing Problem in Transportation of Hazardous Material

Allocating and routing problems in the field of transportation engineering are generally solved using the objective function of minimizing transport cost. Transport risk is a main concern in hazardous material transportation, mainly dependent on the vision of decision makers (national and/or local authorities). In this research work, a trade-off approach has been proposed to determine the safes...

An integrated model for designing a distribution network of products under facility and transportation link disruptions

Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...
