A production system with manual operations tends to suffer from variations in system
performance induced by individual differences of human actions. To re-design the system …

Parcel hub (PH), as one of the logistic system entities, plays a significant role in delivering
packages. PH operations are identical to a cross-docking system. Numerous studies were …

Purpose Studying an innovative machine design project that focuses on assembling plant
leaves into compact rolls requires the application of engineering principles and sustainable …

Constrained binary simulation optimization problems (CBSOP) are optimization problems
with binary variables and stochastic objective function subject to given constraints. Solving …

The optimal operation of a conveyor used in distribution centers is critical to delivery service
quality. Optimizing conveyor operations entails routing a given number of items from loading …

A factory layout is a decisive factor in the improvement of production levels, efficiency, and
even in the sustainability of a company. Regardless of the type of layout to be implemented …

To reduce the impact of the cold chain logistics center layout on economic benefits,
operating efficiency and carbon emissions, a layout optimization method is proposed based …

Warehouse layout optimization is critical to inventory and logistics management in
organizations. In many instances, limited warehouse space is a constraint and a barrier to …

A crucial challenge arising in the design of large-scale logistical networks is to optimize
parcel sortation for routing. We study this problem under the recent graph-theoretic …

This paper presents a study of the possibility of realising a given logic of sorting parcels
processed by automated sorting lines. We propose to use a fuzzy decision-making model …
