Abstract Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) is a population-based meta-heuristic optimization
algorithm that has been used for the solution of test functions and real-world problems by …

This paper aims to solve the large-scale heterogeneous container loading problem (HCLP),
which is an extensive form of the multiple container loading problem, in a limited time. The …

Mixed palletizing constitutes one of the problems in the logistics domain aroused from the
need for fast product movement to satisfy the continuously increasing number of customers …

In this paper, we address multiple container loading problems, consisting of placing
rectangular boxes, orthogonally and without overlapping, inside containers in order to …

Abstract Three-dimensional Cutting and Packing Problems consist of a set of items that must
be placed inside one or more larger items (containers). Such problems enforce non …

Bin packing problem (BPP) is one of the fastest-growing research issues within the field of
combinatorial optimization. Over the last years, several studies carried out various BPP …

Palletization, a core activity in warehousing and distribution, involves the solution of a three-
dimensional bin packing problem with side constraints. This problem is known as the mixed …

Resources are often transferred between two activities, especially if the two activities are
processed at different locations. In this work, we study the unit-capacity resource constrained …

This paper combines the chemical reaction optimisation algorithm with the greedy algorithm
to solve the three-dimensional bin packing problem (3D-BPP). Traditionally, the 3D-BPP is …

Consolidation of loose packages into transport units is a fundamental activity offered by
logistics service-providers. Moving the transport units instead of loose packages is faster …
