In a hinterland barge transport system, barges are usually not self-propelled and need to be
towed or pushed by tugs. This study investigates a tug-scheduling problem at a seaport that …

A rapid rise in e-commerce has forced logistic companies to invest in efficiency and reduce
last-mile delivery costs. A significant part of last-mile delivery operations is the cartonization …

The two-dimensional vector packing problem is a well-known generalization of the classical
bin packing problem. It considers two attributes for each item and bin. Two capacity …

We address the one-dimensional bin packing problem with concave loading cost (BPPC),
which commonly arises in less-than-truckload ship** services. Our contribution is twofold …

A two-dimensional vector packing problem with conflicts and time windows (2DVPPCTW) is
investigated in this study. It consists of packing items into the minimum number of bins, and …

This paper considers packing and cutting problems in which a packing/cutting pattern is
constrained independently in two or more dimensions. Examples are restrictions with …

The volumetric weight of a package has become an essential factor in calculating the
delivery cost of shipments in the international logistics market. In this work, we extend the …

Batch scheduling involves a machine that can process several jobs simultaneously. The
existing literature mainly focuses on the batch-size-dependent setup time. However, setup …

Batch scheduling aims to allocate jobs into several batches on batch-processing machines,
and thus increases the production efficiency and has pervasive applications. This paper …

This paper introduces the two-dimensional vector packing problem with time windows
(2DVPPTW). It packs all items into identical bins to minimize the number of used bins. Items …
