“…Examples of this work include empty rail car allocation for automobile shipments considering uncertain transit times and delivery priority (Sherali and Suharko, 1998), vehicle fleet allocation considering future demand uncertainty, vehicle ownership, multiple vehicle types, vehicle assignment to best fit demand, and penalties for late delivery (List et al, 2003), truck rental fleet sizing considering multiple time periods, multiple truck types, and multiple locations (Wu et al, 2003), and truck fleet sizing for disposition of radioactive waste under uncertain demand (List et al, 2006). The prior research focuses on mathematical programming formulations that can be solved to find an optimal fleet size.…”

Container fleet-sizing for part transportation and storage in a two-level supply chain

This research addresses the fleet-sizing of containers that are used for the protection, transportation, and storage of parts between a component plant and multiple assembly plants. These containers are needed for the storage of completed parts as they are produced, and also for storage of parts as they are used in assembly. The containers are reusable, expensive, occupy a large amount of space when empty or full, and are required to maintain production. An analytical model is developed for the minimum container fleet size that results in no production stoppages due to lack of containers assuming no system variability. The model considers the discrete nature of part production and shipping as well as differences in available production and transportation time. The model is shown to be accurate and provides insight into the factors that affect container fleet size and production stoppage trade-offs.

“…In addition, radioactive waste, as one type of serious hazardous waste, can have a severe impact on the environment and health if the disposal sites are not properly located. List et al ( 2006 ) proposed a two-stage stochastic programming model under uncertainty to analyse the transport of radioactive waste from weapon factories to disposal sites.…”

The reverse logistics of municipal hazardous waste (RLMHW) have received close attention from researchers and practitioners alike, given the essential impact of safe transportation and effective management of hazardous waste on public health and environmental sustainability. There are a great number of studies in the extant literature on RLMHW, with many and diverse research topics; however, a concise and complete overview of the research works already conducted in this particular area is conspicuous by its absence. This paper strives to fill the gap through the conduct of rigorous systematic literature review of RLMHW in the past three decades, and then establish a framework of studies on RLMHW. The main contributions of this study are as follows: (1) to identify the trend of journals publishing research papers on RLMHW; (2) to extract the main topics in studies on RLMHW; (3) to locate the most popular research areas of RLMHW; (4) to summarize the methods adopted in studies on RLMHW; (5) to identify research deficiencies in certain categories of RLMHW; and (6) to establish the future research directions of RLMHW. The main implications of the study are to offer a better understanding of RLMHW by systematic crystallization of archival data in a systematic chronological order across central issues. This study contributes to scholarly debate in this field by serving as a snapshot paper to document the development of the field and gives input to policymakers in process design and policy making in the domain of RLMHW.

“…List et al (1991a) present a formulation and solution procedure for transportation of waste from remediation sites to disposal sites, for trucking problems that focus on equipment investment decisions. Fu and Ishkhanov (2004) use a heuristic approach to determining the optimum mix of different types of vehicles to maximize operating efficiency.…”

With potential application to a variety of industries, fleet sizing problems present a prevalent and significant challenge for engineers and managers. This is especially true of applications involving rail cars, where origins and destinations have capacity restrictions. This paper presents a new multi-objective optimization formulation, solution method, and analysis for multi-periodic fleet sizing problems of various sizes. Profit and quality (minimal unmet demands) represent conflicting objectives and are maximized simultaneously. The Pareto optimal set is depicted and is used for trade-off analysis. The solution involves the optimal fleet size as well as the optimal rail-car allocation strategy. The proposed approach is applied to an example problem and is shown to be successful, ultimately providing a new managerial tool for planning and analyzing rail-car fleets more effectively.
