Pharmaceutical supply chains face high inventory and stockout risks because of short product shelf lives and volatile demand. To enhance coordination efficiency and reduce drug waste, this study examines a two-echelon supply chain comprising a manufa...
Trade embargoes, often imposed for political, economic, or security reasons, have long been a tool of international diplomacy. Transshipments may be employed as a strategic mechanism by nations and organizations to circumvent trade embargoes. Transsh...
The U-shaped automated container terminal (U-ACT) meets the requirements of sea-rail intermodal transportation with its unique layout. However, this layout also presents challenges, such as complex container transshipment planning and challenging equ...
This research investigates an integrated problem of transshipment for cross-filling and imputation for missing demand data. Transshipment for cross-filling has proved effective in mitigating shortages with relatively low inventory, thus reducing reso...
Congestion before the Three Gorges Dam has been an obstacle to the sustainable development of the Yangtze River. Water–land transshipment can be a better way to alleviate congestion. Consequently, the government started to offer subsidies to ev...
The quickest transshipment of the evacuees in an integrated evacuation network topology depends upon the evacuee arrival pattern in the collection network and their better assignment in the assignment network with appropriate traffic route guidance,...
Mitigating climate change and improving urban livability is prompting cities to improve sustainability of urban transportation and logistics. Cargo bikes, in combination with urban transshipment points, are gaining momentum as a green last mile alter...
COVID-19 has exposed the global supply chains to great vulnerability. In such extreme circumstances, product availability becomes a primary concern. This paper studies a basic inventory management strategy—lateral transshipment—under dece...
Despite the benefits of inventory transshipment, numerous behavioral experiments have revealed that retailers often deviate from the Nash-equilibrium ordering quantities, which in turn impacts the potential advantages. Motivated by this issue, we dev...
Forestry faces frequent and severe natural calamities causing high amounts of salvage wood. Especially under mountainous conditions, regional available self-loading truck capacity is often the main limiting factor causing transport capacity bottlenec...
The sea–rail intermodal container terminal serves as a key transportation hub for green logistics, where efficient resource coordination directly enhances multimodal connectivity and operational synergy. To address limited storage capacity and...

Blood platelets are a typical instance of perishable age-differentiated products with a shelf life of five days (on average), which may lead to significant wastage of some collected samples. At the same time, a shortage of platelets may also be obser...
With the increasing frequency of emergencies in recent years, the emergency response capacity of the emergency management system needs to be improved. Based on safety stock strategy, this paper proposes a multilevel siting model on the topic of mobil...
A bundling option in a freight transportation network model enables a certain amount of goods to be sent after grouping them into a bundle. Usually, each bundle occupies the space of a unit good and/or can be transshipped using a more economical tran...
Driven by the growing threat of natural disasters caused by climate change, there is an urgent need to strengthen the emergency rescue logistics network. However, insufficient research has been conducted on optimizing both pre-disaster preparation an...
Demand fluctuations and uncertainty bring challenges to inventory management, and intermittent demand patterns increase the risk of inventory backlogs and raise inventory holding costs. In previous studies on inventory routing problems, different var...
In the context of economic globalization and the development of information networks, container liner transportation plays a crucial role in international trade. However, the inherent inflexibility of fixed schedules in liner operations poses challen...
Here we study a short-sea feeder network design problem based on mother and daughter vessels. The main feature of the studied system is performing transshipment of cargo between mother and daughter vessels at appropriate locations at sea. This operat...
Multi-commodity flow problems concerned with the transshipment of more than one commodity from respective sources to the corresponding sinks without violating the capacity constraints on the arcs. If the objective of the problem is to send the maximu...
Firms with omni-channel multi-echelon distribution networks (OMDC) integrate all of their sale channels and distribution echelons to achieve an effective matching of multi-type orders and a shared inventory. However, the high operational cost caused...
The transport system is one of the main bottlenecks of the world’s largest producer and exporter of soybeans, Brazil. Long-distance truck transportation of grains increases costs, food waste, and CO2 emissions. To handle these problems, the Bra...
Foodbank networks provide adequate infrastructure and perform logistics activities to supply food to people in need on a day-to-day basis. However, in the case of a sudden event, such as a natural disaster, they must reconfigure themselves to quickly...
Given the swift expansion of fresh e-commerce, the front warehouse mode can respond quickly and ensure the quality of fresh products. However, the complexity of the supply chain structure under front warehouse mode poses a challenge in reducing logis...
The continued growth of international maritime trade has driven automated container terminals (ACTs) to pursue more efficient operational management strategies. In practice, the horizontal yard layout in ACTs significantly enhances transshipment effi...
In response to changes taking place in the global environment, seaport terminal operators constantly search for lines of development in their operations, choosing i.a. a strategy of diversification or specialisation. So far, the issue of applying a d...
Optimizing last-mile delivery operations is an essential component in making a modern city livable, particularly in the face of rapid urbanization, increasing e-commerce activity, and the growing demand for fast deliveries. These factors contribute s...
Background: Sustainability is a critical concern in transportation, notably in light of governmental initiatives such as cap-and-trade systems and eco-label regulations aimed at reducing emissions. In this context, collaborative approaches among carr...
In recent years, various kinds of carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage supply chain network design (CCUS SCND) problems have been extensively studied by scholars from the supply chain management community and other fields. The existing wor...
Efficient logistics and transport at the port heavily relies on efficient AGV scheduling and planning for container transshipment. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to address the challenges in AGV path planning and coordination within the...
In this study, using global liner shipping schedules, UNCTAD’s Port Liner Shipping Connectivity Index and Liner Shipping Bilateral Connectivity Index, together with bilateral trade-value data for 2022–2024, we construct a multilayer weigh...
