This article explores the coordinated scheduling problem between production and
transportation in a steelmaking shop. Two models arising from steelmaking and refining …

As a special case of the quay crane scheduling problem, the unidirectional quay crane
scheduling problem has been received more and more attention. In this paper, we analyze …

We study the integrated problem of allocating containers and scheduling a yard crane in a
block with multiple input/output (I/O) points. The crane moves each storage container from …

Common deficiencies found in previous studies that modelled quay crane scheduling with
non-crossing constraints (QCSNC) in port container terminals are identified. Remedies for …

One of great challenges in seaport management is how to handle containers under
reshuffling, called reshuffles. Repositioning reshuffles in a bay (internal reshuffling) can …

We study a number of variants of an abstract scheduling problem inspired by the scheduling
of reclaimers in the stockyard of a coal export terminal. We analyze the complexity of each of …

In port container terminals, the scheduling of quay cranes (QCs) for a container vessel is one
of the most critical operations. This paper investigates the problem of scheduling quay …

Railway container terminals, where gantry cranes are responsible for loading and unloading
containers between freight trains and yards, are important hubs of hinterland logistics …

Here, we present a simulation-based solution for a multi-crane-scheduling problem derived
from a steelmaking shop. This problem features non-conflict constraint between cranes …

针对难以用数学模型表达的优化问题或带有随机性的优化问题, 基于仿真的优化方法是其惟一的
选择. 因此, 综述了基于仿真的优化方法的研究情况, 介绍了仿真用于策略验证 …
