South African Journal of Business Management, 2017 In this paper, the process flow within a high-end 3PL distribution centre is studied in order to determine the optimal split between the parcel size categories moved within the system. The article considers the application of an optimisation (MIQP) model

New Policies Exploiting Randomness of Lead Times in Inventory Systems
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent research provided proof‐of‐concept that the randomness of lead times in inventory systems can be exploited to achieve large—potentially unlimited—performance improvements, compared to the case of constant lead time. Specifically, the Generalized Base Stock (GBS) policy serves as such proof‐of‐concept—it can deliver unlimited ...

Explainable reinforcement learning for improved traffic signal control
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforcement learning has become a popular approach for traffic signal control, but its complexity often hinders practical application. To improve this, we propose a deep Q‐network framework with an attention mechanism inspired by how traffic police manage intersections.

Annotation‐Guided AoS‐to‐SoA Conversions and GPU Offloading With Data Views in C++
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 37, Issue 21-22, 25 September 2025.ABSTRACT The C++ programming language provides classes and structs as fundamental modeling entities. Consequently, C++ code tends to favor array‐of‐structs (AoS) for encoding data sequences, even though structure‐of‐arrays (SoA) yields better performance for some calculations.

Picking Operations in Warehouses With Dynamically Arriving Orders: How Good is Reoptimization?
Networks, Volume 86, Issue 2, Page 157-173, September 2025.ABSTRACT E‐commerce operations are essentially online, with customer orders arriving dynamically. However, very little is known about the performance of online policies for warehousing with respect to optimality, particularly for order picking and batching operations, which constitute a substantial portion of the total operating costs in warehouses. We

A Programming Platform Design for Children to Create and Explore Hybrid Musical Instruments
Software: Practice and Experience, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1445-1463, September 2025.ABSTRACT Engaging young learners in coding activities is increasingly important to prepare them to participate in a contemporary computationally centred society. Engagement comes from finding appropriate motivation and the use of materials and methods that are suitable to the educational stage and learning opportunities. In this article, we present our
