Simheuristics Approaches for Efficient Decision-Making Support in Materials Trading Networks [PDF]
The distribution process in business-to-business materials trading is among the most complex and in transparent ones within logistics. The highly volatile environment requires continuous adaptations by the responsible decision-makers, who face a ...

A simheuristic‐based algorithm for the stochastic long‐term maintenance scheduling problem
Abstract This work addresses the problem of assigning preventive maintenance jobs in a 52‐week planning horizon. Given a set of machines that need preventive maintenance, a set of maintenance jobs in these machines, a set of work teams, and a planning horizon, the problem consists of assigning each job to a work team in a given instant of the planning ...

Determining Reliable Solutions for the Team Orienteering Problem with Probabilistic Delays
In the team orienteering problem, a fixed fleet of vehicles departs from an origin depot towards a destination, and each vehicle has to visit nodes along its route in order to collect rewards.

Solving the time capacitated arc routing problem under fuzzy and stochastic travel and service times
Abstract Stochastic, as well as fuzzy uncertainty, can be found in most real‐world systems. Considering both types of uncertainties simultaneously makes optimization problems incredibly challenging. In this paper we propose a fuzzy simheuristic to solve the Time Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (TCARP) when the nature of the travel time can either be ...

On the role of metaheuristic optimization in bioinformatics
Abstract Metaheuristic algorithms are employed to solve complex and large‐scale optimization problems in many different fields, from transportation and smart cities to finance. This paper discusses how metaheuristic algorithms are being applied to solve different optimization problems in the area of bioinformatics. While the text provides references to

The location routing problem with facility sizing decisions
Abstract The location routing problem (LRP) integrates operational decisions on vehicle routing operations with strategic decisions on the location of the facilities or depots from which the distribution will take place. In other words, it combines the well‐known vehicle routing problem (VRP) with the facility location problem (FLP).

Many real-life applications of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) occur in scenarios subject to uncertainty or dynamic conditions. Thus, for instance, traveling times or customers’ demands might be better modeled as random variables than as deterministic ...

Disruption Management Approaches for Berth Scheduling in Bulk Terminals
Maritime terminals are complex transportation systems sensitive to several sources of uncertainty. An alteration in the baseline planning, as a consequence of one or more disruptive events, can lead terminals to a lower quality of the service provided.
