Given the growing importance of service supply chain management (SSCM) in operations,
we review a selection of papers in the operations research and the management science …

Multimodal transportation, which refers to the combination of different modes in a
transportation chain, can be a cost-efficient and green alternative to unimodal road …

Conventionally, vehicle routing problems are defined on a network in which the customer
locations and arcs are given. Typically, these arcs somehow represent the distances or …

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most intensively studied combinatorial
optimisation problems for which numerous models and algorithms have been proposed. To …

In a more and more competitive and global world, freight transports have to overcome
increasingly long distances while at the same time becoming more reliable. In addition, a …

We consider the planning problem of designing and operating humanitarian supply chain
networks (HSCN) after natural disasters. Specifically, we focus on the design of a three-layer …

Long-haul continental freight flows still heavily rely on unimodal road transport. Intermodal
transport, combining road transport with other transport modes, has the potential to have …

Escalating global food security concerns across several nations has shifted the focus of
policy makers towards risk adaptive sustainable food grain operations. This paper builds a …

Hinterland freight transportation is managed according to a pre-designed schedule. In daily
operations, unexpected uncertainties cause deviation from the original plan. Thus …

In this paper, a new Simulation-Based Optimization Model (SBO-Model) is proposed to solve
scheduling problem in stochastic multimodal freight transportation systems. The model is …
