  • A Web Platform for Effective Planning of Green Combined Transportation in EU

    V. Zeimpekis, D. Saliaris, K. Mamassis, I. Minis

    Proceedings of the 24th Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXIV), Lisbon, Portugal, July 11-14, 2010.

    This paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative web platform that supports shippers and forwarders to seek near optimal intermodal transport solutions that take into account cost, transportation time, risk and CO2 emissions. The paper analyses initially the related requirements of 35 freight companies.  Subsequently, the design of the platform is presented, which takes into account these requirements in order to a) develop an attractive transportation plan using available data and related OR techniques, b) request offers from registered providers, and c) monitor delivery.

  • Real-time Logistics Management of Dried Figs Using RFID Technology: Case Study in a Greek Cooperative Company

    V. Zeimpekis, I. Minis and V. Pappa

    Int. Journal of Logistics Systems and Management, Vol. 7, No. 3, 2010, pp. 265 - 285

    The complexity of the supply chain for fresh products and fruits is increased by the perishable nature of the product as well as by legislative constraints. RFID technology may address some of these issues through real-time monitoring and traceability. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an innovative RFID-based information system for the logistics management of dried figs. A systematic method is proposed to optimise system performance. Our tests in a Cooperative, indicate that the RFID-based system may improve warehousing activities, increase customer service through online product traceability and reduce operational costs.

    Single Vehicle Routing With Predefined Sequence and Multiple Depot Returns: The Case of Two Deppots

    This thesis examines three interesting cases of the single vehicle routing problem with a predefined client sequence of and two load replenishment depots. The cases studied vary with respect to the inventory availability at each depot. Given the location and demand of the clients, we seek the minimum cost route, which includes optimal load replenishment at the depots in order to fully satisfy the client demand. For each case, two solution approaches have been developed: i) A Dynamic Programming algorithm, which obtains the optimal solution for all cases, and ii) a Labeling Algorithm that obtains the optimal solution for the first two cases, and efficient solutions for the third, and most complex, one. The computational efficiency of the two algorithms are studied by solving a wide range of problem instances.
