Formulations, Bounds and Heuristic Methods for a Two-Echelon Adaptive Location-Distribution Problem

Authors: Bernard Gendron, Paul-Virak Khuong, and Frédéric Semet

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9261, Models and Algorithms for Optimization in Logistics (2009)


Abstract
We consider a two-echelon location-distribution problem arising from an actual application in fast delivery service. This problem belongs to the class of adaptive logistics problems, as the locations of the facilities (typically, parking spaces) are revised on a daily basis according to demand variations. We present and compare two formulations for this problem: an arc-based model and a path-based model. Since these formulations cannot be solved in reasonable time for large-scale instances, we introduce a heuristic method based on a variable neighborhood search approach.

Grammar-Based Integer Programing Models for Multi-Activity Shift Scheduling

Authors: Marie-Claude Cote, Bernard Gendron, and Louis-Martin Rousseau

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9261, Models and Algorithms for Optimization in Logistics (2009)


Abstract
We present a new implicit formulation for shift scheduling problems, using context-free grammars to model regulation in the composition of shifts. From the grammar, we generate an integer programming (IP) model allowing the same set of shifts as Dantzig’s set covering model. When solved by a state-of-the- art IP solver on problems allowing a small number of shifts, our model, the set covering formulation and a typical implicit model from the literature yield comparable solving times. Moreover, on instances where many shifts are allowed, our model is superior and can encode a wider variety of constraints. Among others, multi-activity cases, which cannot be modeled by existing implicit formulations, can easily be captured with grammars.
