Today’s transportation and logistics professionals are tasked daily with critical decisions affecting facility location, fleet management, crew assignment and scheduling, and portfolio optimization. Transportation and Logistics Problem-Solving Through Multiple Criteria Decision Making provides the methodological framework to solve these multiple, criteria-based decision problems. It equips readers with set of concrete rules, methods and procedures that make MCDM principles practical and applicable for transportation and logistics.
Transportation and Logistics Problem-Solving Through Multiple Criteria Decision Making
models and solves the various MCDM categories, including choice, ranking, and classification, with an application of applicable solution procedures. The book covers deterministic and non-deterministic, as well as static and dynamic situations, presenting original mathematical formulations of multiple criterial transportation and logistical problems. It reviews applied methods, such as meta-heuristic, hybrid, rough-set, interactive, and exact procedures, and customizes them to solve specific transportation situations. The book shows the vast majority of transportation and logistics decisions have a multiple criteria core, and explains how to use this knowledge to arrive at the best decisions possible.- Presents advanced multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology in layman’s terms, providing helpful tools and practical examples for decision makers tasked with complex transportation and logistics challenges
