Expertise
My research group focuses on the development of quantitative solution techniques, both exact methods and (meta)heuristic algorithms, to tackle various planning problems in the fields of logistics and supply chain management. More specifically, research expertise has been established in the following domains: multi-stakeholder and collaborative logistics, the planning and scheduling of warehouse operations, speed optimisation for inland waterway vessels and lock scheduling, facility location and inventory management, supply chain network design, and logistics planning in space.
Collaborative Vehicle Routing. Algorithms for operational and tactical decision support in multi-partner VRPs.
Abstract
The main goal of this research is to develop vehicle routing algorithms for collaborative vehicle routing problems that can support logistics decision-making in horizontal coalitions of distribution companies. The algorithms will enable these coalitions to plan their joint operational "milk-run" distribution, but will also allow them to answer related tactical questions with respect to the contribution to the coalition gain of the (potential) partners in the coalition.Researcher(s)
