Velocity‐based stowage policy for a semiautomated fulfillment system
Production and Operations Management, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Online retail fulfillment is increasingly performed by semiautomated fulfillment systems in which inventory is stored in mobile pods that are moved by robotic drives. In this paper, we develop a model that explores the benefits of velocity‐based stowage policies for semiautomated fulfillment systems, also known as robotic mobile fulfillment ...

A Slot Allocation Model with Queuing Constraints based on the Server-Always-Busy Approximation
, 2018 At congested airports outside the US, airlines must obtain slots in order to land and take-off. Slots must be allocated to airlines in a way which matches their requested times as far as possible, while satisfying operational constraints.
