Cross-border logistics with fleet management: A goal programming approach

Competitiveness and macroeconomic impacts of reduced wait times at U.S. land freight border crossings

“…While the wait time reductions induced by the additional officer's presence can extend beyond the 8-h when the officer is actually on duty (because they help thin out the queue), we lack a basis by which to assess these 'spillover' wait time reduction effects, so we conservatively assume that they are zero. The reduction in wait times at the border may generate secondary benefits beyond the reduction in standard transportation costs (see Section 4) related to supply chain efficiencies, such as reduced inventory carrying costs and greater reliance on low-cost suppliers abroad rather than higher-cost suppliers at home (see, e.g., Goodchild et al, 2007;Haralambides and Londono-Kent, 2004;Leung et al, 2006;OECD, 2013;SANDAG, 2006;Taylor et al, 2003). Reductions in border wait times may therefore have macroeconomic consequences beyond those quantified in this paper.…”

A new approach of Romero’s extended lexicographic goal programming: fuzzy extended lexicographic goal programming

“…Several case studies and real applications could also be found citing Romero's model, e.g. Elfkih et al (2009), Leung et al (2006, Leung and Chan (2009), Ö zcan and Toklu (2009), Ustun and Demirtas (2008) and van Calker et al (2008), among others.…”

Deriving industrial logistics hub reference models for manufacturing based economies

“…For instances, Taylor, Meinert, Killian, and Whicker (1999) and Tjokroamidjojo, Kutanoglu, and Taylor (2006) developed an advanced planning and dispatching method for the pickup and delivery of truckloads. Cheung, Shi, Powell, and Simao (2008) and Leung, Wu, and Lai (2006) proposed quantitative decision models for region-specific cross-boarder logistic problems related to fleet management, drayage, and shipping operations management between China and Hong Kong.…”
