Banana transshipment model
… and South America to various markets using a transshipment model. The goal of the transshipment model estimates the supply chain that creates the lowest cost. Through analysis of fuel, trucking, and shipping markets, the model makes the optimal decision regarding transportation routing. The …

Efficient yard storage in transshipment container hub ports
… not sufficiently address the particular needs of transshipment hubs, but more on general terminals which emphasize on import and export activities. To remedy this, this thesis studies the storage yard management problem particularly for transshipment hubs where the loading and unloading activities …

Amazon UK transshipment stow process analysis through discrete event simulation
… thesis investigated Amazon's implementation of transshipment, the act of moving inventory between fulfillment centers to facilitate order fulfillment, inventory rebalancing, and operational cost reduction. The role of transshipment in Amazon's fulfillment center network was explored and a …

Transshipment networks for last-mile delivery in congested urban areas
… work develops a systemic approach for enabling transshipment operations in congested urban areas, based on two fundamental city logistics needs: efficient utilization of existing infrastructure and flexibility for logistics operators. Specifically, this research introduces the concept of urban …

MEGAPORT : architecture in infrastructural environments
… is of container freights, specifically: transshipment. Trans-shipment ports are no portals to cities, but are increasingly becoming autonomous global entities. The ports are mere switchboards, an exchange mechanism between ships. Transshipment is the fastest growing shipping market. Ships …

Inventory Systems with Transshipments and Quantity Discounts
… decisions and interactions in a competitive transshipment system where quantity discounts are offered. The system studied differs from previous work in the subject by introducing quantity discounts from supplier to retailer into a system of competitive retailers that transship stock. Analysis …

An Arctic dream : the opening of the Northern Sea Route : impact and possibilities for Iceland
… at the end of the NSR, to become a transshipment port for ongoing cargo destined for North-America and Europe, or even yet a base for Arctic exploration and processing of natural minerals like oil and gas. By examining the technological aspects of NSR navigation, present state of …

SIMNET, a primal Simplex code for networks
<p>The capacitated transshipment problem was originally developed as an extension of the transportation or distribution problem. The transportation problem is a flow network model in which every node is either an origin or a destination. Typically, the origins are production plants and the …

Optimization and equilibrium in dynamic networks and applications in traffic systems
… the quickest flow problem and the quickest transshipment problem. The quickest flow problem is to find a minimum time needed to send a given amount of flow from one origin to one destination in a dynamic network. The quickest transshipment problem is similar to the quickest flow problem …

The effect of inland navigation user charges on barge transportation of wheat
… system. In order to accomplish these objectives, transshipment models were constructed, examining three wheat varieties: hard red spring, hard red winter, and soft red winter. The models permitted basically two types of movements from producing to consuming areas: direct movements or movements …

Virtual transshipments and revenue-sharing contracts in supply chain management
This dissertation presents the use of virtual transshipments and revenue-sharing contracts for inventory control in a small scale supply chain. The main objective is to maximize the total profit in a centralized supply chain or maximize the supply chain's profit while keeping the individual …

A location-allocation model and algorithm for optimally locating shelters to minimize evacuation times
… a designated origin or origins, through arcs and transshipment nodes, to a set of destinations selected by the model. It is suggested in this research effort that such a modeling structure may be employed to simulate transportation evacuation conditions that may arise in the case of a natural …

Inventory planning for low demand items in online retailing
… the key system performance metrics like transshipment, backorders and average system inventory for one-for-one replenishment policies when warehouses hold exactly one unit of inventory. We run computational experiments to test the accuracy of the approximation. We develop extensions for …

Contingency munitions logistics planning and control : a framework for analysis
… background, a high level description of CONUS transshipment operations and network infrastructure is given, along with a review of automated information systems being developed to provide real-time total asset visibility. Little work has been done to automate plan generation for decision …

Multi-modal, multi-period, multi-commodity transportation : models and algorithms
… (including speed, cost of travel, and capacity), transshipment locations where goods can be transferred between vehicles; and availability times for goods at their origins and delivery time windows for goods at their destinations. The model is composed of three stages: In the first, vehicle …

Solving layout compaction and wire-balancing problem using linear programming on the Monsoon multiprocessor
… VLSI physical design can be formulated as a dual transshipment problem (DTP) which can be written as a linear programming problem and solved using the network dual simplex (NDS) algorithm. The goal of our work is to implement this algorithm using an implicitly parallel functional language called …
