This paper, we consider dynamic dispatching control of a fully flexible online manufacturing system. Hence, vendors, who supply the materials, play an important role in this system. So, selection of vendors is much important. In a periodically reviewed, online manufacturing system where materials are dispatched from a central control station to different manufacturing sales. After production pr...

The Reactor design pattern handles service requests that are delivered concurrently by multiple clients. This pattern simplifies event-driven applications by integrating the synchronous demultiplexing of events and the dispatching of their corresponding event handlers. In addition, the Reactor pattern also decouples the generic demultiplexing and dispatching code from the application-specific e...

Unavoidable disturbances induce the necessity of operations control and dispatching tasks in the timetable-driven rail traffic. Therefore, dispatching becomes one of the most relevant challenges for the economic success, since it directly affects the timeliness of passengers, which is a core indicator of customer satisfaction. Thus, the integration of passenger preferences into dispatching stra...

Mobile dispatching applications have become popular for at least two major reasons. The first reason is a more mobile-centric usage pattern, where users relate to apps for fulfilling different needs that they have. In this respect, a vehicle dispatching application for mobile phones is perceived as a modern way of booking a vehicle. The second reason has to do with the advantages that this meth...

Flight dispatching is the set of tasks related to flight preparation, such as load and balance, meteorology study and briefing, operational flight planning, contingency analysis and planning, etc. The flight dispatcher must be in close contact with the pilot in command in order to verify that the airplane is airworthy, furnishing all kinds of information needed to properly operate the system. T...

Securing connections in public transport is a mean to raise travellers' satisfaction and make their trips more convenient. Nevertheless, securing connections affects the trips of other travellers and therefore is not always the best solution regarding the complex train network. Thus, dispatching connecting trains is a complex task that demands special knowledge about the railway network, travel...

In the literature, the application of multi-objective dynamic scheduling problem and simple priority rules are widely studied. Although these rules are not efficient enough due to simplicity and lack of general insight, composite dispatching rules have a very suitable performance because they result from experiments. In this paper, a dynamic flexible flow line problem with sequence-dependent se...

We consider a dispatching system, where jobs, arriving in batches, are assigned to single-server FCFS queues. Batches can be split to different queues on per job basis. However, the holding costs are batch-specific and incurred until the last member of the batch completes the service. By using the first policy improvement step of the MDP framework, we are able to derive robust dispatching polic...

This research attempts to explore the impacts of different types of justice and their interactions on the satisfaction toward service failure recovery. We attempt to classify justices into hygiene, motivator, or asymmetric variable, based on the concept of asymmetric effect and two factors theory proposed by Herzberg. Specifically, we predict that procedural and distributive justices are hygien...
