This paper proposes an integrated network design model for a post-distribution cross-docking strategy, comprising multi product production facilities with shared production resources, capacitated cross docks with setup cost and customer zones with time windows constraints. The model is dynamic in terms of time-varying uncertain demands, whereas uncertainty is expressed with scenario approach an...

Parcel lockers have continuously growing in popularity as an alternative mode for last-mile delivery services due to their capability of effectively alleviating the risk a failure, increasing possibility consolidation, and reducing number drop-off sites. However, poorly located parcel be less efficient. When determining locker location, inadequate consideration uncertain demands can potentially...

Uncertain variables are used to describe the phenomenon where uncertainty appears in a complex system. For modeling the multi-objective decision-making problems with uncertain parameters, a class of uncertain optimization is suggested for the decision systems in Liu and Chen (2013), http://orsc.edu.cn/online/131020 which is called the uncertain multi-objective programming. In order to solve the...

This work considers the economic dispatch problem for a single micro gas turbine, governed by discrete state–space model, under combined heat and power (CHP) operation coupled with utility. If exact demands are given, existing algorithms can be used to give quick optimal solution problem. However, in practice, cannot known deterministically, but rather predicted, resulting an estimate bound on ...
