Increasing the revenue of self-storage warehouses by optimizing order scheduling

Survey and classification of operational control problems in discrete event logistics systems (DELS)

“…Some vehicle routing problems (VRP) require only a predetermined subset of customers to be served and the remaining customers might be served if profitable to do so (Desrochers et al 1990; Psaraftis et al 2016; Ritzinger et al 2016). In self-storage warehouses, storage orders (requests for a storage space) may be rejected to preserve future availability (Zhang et al 2016). Formulation of order acceptance decisions is consistent with modeling of multi-choice, multidimensional knapsack problems, which are the foundation of many heuristic approaches (Hifi et al 2004).…”

Maximizing total job value on a single machine with job selection

“…Several topics are introduced to capture a characteristic of the literature. Job selection was mainly used to maximize total profit (or revenue) under a limited processing capacity Ying, 2013, 2015;Reisi-Nafchi et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2016). Some papers focused on minimizing the completion time of the last accepted job penalizing the value of rejected jobs (Bartal et al, 2000;Zhong et al, 2014;Ou et al, 2015).…”
