The selective use of emergency shipments for service-contract differentiation
TLDR
In this paper, the authors use selective emergency shipments of spare parts to differentiate logistic performance: they apply emergency shipments in out-of-stock situations for combinations of parts and customer classes that yield service levels close to the class-specific targets.About:

A review of recent research on green road freight transportation
TL;DR: A review of recent research on green road freight transportation is provided to provide an understanding of vehicle emission models and their inclusion into the existing optimization methods.

Flexible Heuristics Miner (FHM)
A.J.M.M. Weijters,Joel Ribeiro +1 more
TL;DR: A new process representation language is presented in combination with an accompanying process mining algorithm that results in easy to understand process models even in the case of non-trivial constructs, low structured domains and the presence of noise.

Maintenance spare parts planning and control : a framework for control and agenda for future research
M.A. Driessen,Jacobus J. Arts,Gjjan Geert-Jan van Houtum,WD Jan Willem Rustenburg,Bob Huisman +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for planning and control of the spare parts supply chain in organizations that use and maintain high-value capital assets is presented, where decisions in the framework are decomposed hierarchically and interfaces are described.

System-oriented inventory models for spare parts
TL;DR: This paper surveys models for spare parts inventory control under system-oriented service constraints and links those models to two archetypical types of spare parts networks: networks of users who maintain their own systems and networks of original equipment manufacturers who service the installed base of products that they have sold.

A Vehicle Routing Problem with Flexible Time Windows
TL;DR: This paper develops a solution procedure, in which feasible vehicle routes are constructed via a tabu search algorithm, and proposes a linear programming model to handle the detailed scheduling of customer visits for given routes.

A Linear Programming Approach to the Cutting-Stock Problem
P. C. Gilmore,Ralph E. Gomory +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is described for overcoming the difficulty in the linear programming formulation of the cutting-stock problem, which enables one to compute always with a matrix which has no more columns than it has rows.

Winning in the aftermarket
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of providing spare parts and after-sales services, but most companies could make far more money in the aftermarket than they do.

Inventory rationing in a make-to-stock production system with several demand classes and lost sales
TL;DR: In this paper, the stock rationing problem of a single-item, make-to-stock production system with several demand classes and lost sales was considered, and it was shown that the optimal policy can be characterized by a sequence of monotone rationing levels.

Vehicle routing under time-dependent travel times
TL;DR: This work develops a set of vehicle routing problem instances on real road networks, and a speed model that reflects the key elements of peak hour traffic congestion, and shows that 99% of late arrivals at customers can be eliminated if traffic congestion is accounted for off-line.

Optimal Policy in a Dynamic, Single Product, Nonstationary Inventory Model with Several Demand Classes
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-period single product non-stationary inventory problem is studied in which the system is reviewed at the beginning of each of a sequence of periods of equal length.
