Lehmann, Jakob Hußmann","doi":"10.23773/2021_5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23773/2021_5","url":null,"abstract":"This paperpresentsa travel time model for multi-deep AS/RS, which determines the average travel times during a single command storage or retrieval and a dual command cycle. The model can determine the relocation probability, the number of expected relocations and the travel times in storage channels itself exactly dependingon the stock ﬁlling level. The travel time model assumes random storage policies. Travel time determination is trivial for single-deep AS/RS, because no relocation necessity applies and it gets more complicated with an increasing depth of the storage racks. The deeper goods can be stored, the more goods can potentially be stored in front of each other in one storage channel. This leads to relocation operations of blocking goods and causes higher total travel times. The higher the stock ﬁlling level, the higher is the relocation probability and the number of necessary relocations. The calculation of relocation probabilities in this work is based on a homogeneousstorage good allocation structure which leads to a symmetric allocation of storage goods and enables an easy modelling of travel times. This paper presents a travel time model with a continuousstorage rack approximation of a multi-deepAS/RS in closed-form expression. Furthermore, the storage channel allocation probabilities are mathematically proven. The relocation probability for storage operations and retrieval operations are the same. Finally, the derived travel time models and relocation probabilities are veriﬁed by simulation.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"107 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73552596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Manufacturing companies face the increasing variability requirements with Heijunka-levelling, one method of the Toyota Production System. The objectives of this publication are to develop a levelling concept for order picking systems, to analyse its performance based on a discrete-time analytical model and to develop a staffing algorithm determining the required workforce level in an order picking system with levelled order release. The levelling concept for order picking systems results from the existing models of Heijunka-levelling in the literature, which are adopted and expanded regarding the specific requirements of order picking systems. The order picking system with levelled order release is depicted as a discrete-time Markov chain. To analyse its performance, we derive several performance measures, such as service level, backlog duration and system utilisation, from the steady-state distribution of the Markov chain. The s taffing a lgorithm i s a binary search algorithm based on the Markov chain. The models developed in this publication enable a quantitative evaluation of the impact of several system parameters, such as variability of customer demand, workforce level and traffic intensity, on the performance measures of the order picking system. Furthermore, the staffing algorithm determines the workforce level which is required to guarantee a certain system performance, such as a service level of 99%, in an order picking system with levelled order release. By comparing levelled order release to FCFS-based order release strategies in a numerical example, we show the benefits of levelled order release.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"56 1","pages":"9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90189704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hendrix","doi":"10.23773/2020_7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23773/2020_7","url":null,"abstract":"Retailers can exploit the consumer willingness to substitute to improve their profit, service level and waste. This paper investigates to what extent such improvement can be realised by the replenishment decisions. Two order policies are compared: one policy neglecting product substitution, and a new policy that decides on order quantities for all products simultaneously meanwhile anticipating stock-outbased substitution. Both policies are analysed by simulation-based optimisation. Besides finding the optimal parameter values or a variety of settings by exact enumeration (as a benchmark), we present for the case of one-way substitution a heuristic search procedure. The heuristic finds (nearly) optimal parameter values quickly and turns out to find optimal parameter values in almost all settings. An average profit increase of almost 9% is obtained when anticipating on substitution, while waste levels can decrease with more than 35%. A clear trade-off between service levels and profit/waste levels is found. Assuming the retailer aims at profit maximisation, the service level of one product maybe very low or even zero. The results provide the following managerial insights in: (i) the service levels and waste levels that maximize the retailer’s profit, (ii) whether a product should be removed from the assortment, (iii) the profit loss and waste increase of setting a higher (sub optimal) service level, e.g. for strategic reasons. Reversely, one may learn from the results what the profit margin of a product should be to justify a certain service level to a profit maximizing retailer. These insights maybe useful to retailers whose primary objective is beyond profit maximisation.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"49 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87586436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To compensate for these limitations, detours to charging stations become necessary in order to charge the vehicle batteries. Charging is a nonlinear process with regard to real conditions, especially when taking partial and opportunity charging into account. However, within most existing solution methods for the E-VSP, the work of charging a vehicle battery is substantially simplified. In most cases, charging is assumed to be performed within linear or even constant time windows. In this paper, we analyze the impact of simplifying assumptions about charging times of electric buses on solutions of the E-VSP. Therefore, we propose charging models reflecting the nonlinear charging process precisely. Furthermore, we enhance an existing solution method for the E-VSP and provide an algorithm for incorporating partial and opportunity charging. Through a comprehensive computational study using real-world bus timetables, we identify major discrepancies between model assumptions and real charging behaviours of electric buses. On the one hand, we show that the assumption of constant charging times generally leads to overestimated time windows for charging, which increases the total costs. On the other hand, we demonstrate that assuming linear charging times underestimates the time windows actually required for charging, widely leading to infeasible vehicle rotations. We investigate this issue by using the technical data of lithium-ion batteries, which are mainly used in practice at present.","PeriodicalId":49772,"journal":{"name":"Naval Research Logistics","volume":"84 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79346882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
