Assistant Professor Operations Research
On 12-13 September 2022, our research group participated in the 36th annual conference of the Belgian Operations Research Society (ORBEL) at KU Leuven, Ghent technology Campus (Belgium). We presented ongoing research in the field of warehouse operations – with a talk on order picking with alternative pick locations and our ideas...
Utility companies collect usage data from meters on a regular basis. The usage data are collected automatically using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. Each meter transmits signals from an RFID tag that are read by a vehicle-mounted reading device within a specified distance. However, in practice there is uncertainty while reading meters....
“The fuel consumption of inland waterway transport depends highly on the vessel speed, which is to be kept as constant as possible over the full itinerary. To ensure efficient and sustainable inland waterway transportation, we present a lock scheduling algorithm that synchronises the lock operations of all vessels in the...
Our paper “Balancing partner preferences for logistics costs and carbon footprint in a horizontal cooperation” has been published in OR Spectrum. In this work, we propose an optimization framework that explicitly accounts for the individual partners’ interests in a context of horizontal supply chain collaboration. We allow all partners to...

We consider a less-than-truckload, last-mile delivery problem for a group of collaborating companies that operate in the same geographical region. Due to what is called “geographical overlap” in the distribution area, the total number of kilometres driven can be reduced if shipments of different suppliers are redistributed over the available vehicles such that each vehicle serves a part of the area.
By means of a set of computational experiments, we study the relationship between the following problem-specific elements: the individual partner’s strategy when setting the customer priorities, the route planning and the allocation of operational costs among the collaborating partners.
This special issue aims to contribute to the discussion on how collaborative logistics can catalyze the transition towards a new, more sustainable organization of our logistical system. Authors are cordially invited to submit original research papers, review articles, empirical studies, and case studies for this special issue to Logistics until 1 October 2021.
