  1. 26. Waste in road transport operations - using information sharing to increase efficiency

    Författare :Henrik Sternberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road transport operations; transport efficiency; ICT; information sharing; transport information systems; freight transportation; motor carrier;

    Sammanfattning : In terms of efficiency, road transport operations have historically seen very little development relative to other supply chain areas and some authors have even referred to freight transportation as the “forgotten factor.” Several studies world-wide have shown a generally low level of efficiency in road transport operations. The U.S. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Quantum Computing for Airline Planning and Operations

    Författare :Marika Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum technology;

    Sammanfattning : Classical algorithms and mathematical optimization techniques have been used extensively by airlines to optimize their profit and ensure that regulations are followed. In this thesis, we explore which role quantum algorithms can have for airlines. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Equal Peace : United Nations Peace Operations and the Power-Relations between men and women in Timor-Leste

    Författare :Louise Olsson; Peter Wallensteen; Mats Hammarström; Fen Osler Hampson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; United Nations; Peacekeeping; Peace Operations; Peacebuilding; Equality; Timor-Leste; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation expands the inquiry of United Nations peace operations to incorporate their effects on gender power-relations of the host state. To achieve this, a mainstream-based analytical framework, additionally informed by suggestions from feminist research, was formulated and applied to the case of Timor-Leste. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Balancing Demand and Supply in Complex Manufacturing Operations: Tactical-Level Planning Processes

    Författare :Hafez Shurrab; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; complexity; organizational information processing; configure-to-order; order fulfillment; engineer-to-order; sales and operations planning; material delivery scheduling; tactical planning;

    Sammanfattning : By balancing medium-term demand and supply, tactical planning enables manufacturing firms to realize strategic, long-term business objectives. However, such balancing in engineer-to-order (ETO) and configured-to-order (CTO) operations, due to the constant pressure of substantial complexity (e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Access management in intermodal freight terminals: The perspective of road haulier operations

    Författare :Stefan Jacobsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; road haulier operations; information exchange; differentiation and segmentation strategies; resource efficiency; intermodal freight terminals; access management;

    Sammanfattning : Given its possibilities of switching freight from road to more sustainable modes such as rail, inland water ways and seaways, intermodal freight transportation depends on environmental and economic variables. At the same time, intermodal freight transportation is essentially complex due to the variety of modes of transport and their corresponding actors. LÄS MER
