Reinforcement Learning
Learning state–action policies and applying them to operations research problems.
6
Heuristic Algorithms
Local search and improvement methods for large-scale problems.
8
Stochastic Modeling
Probabilistic models under uncertain demand and lead times; Markov decision processes.
5
Production and Delivery Flexibility
How quantity and timing flexibility affect the production plan and delivery performance.
5
Supply Chain Collaboration
Coordination across the chain through information sharing, joint planning and gain sharing.
3
Process Flexibility
Partial flexibility and chaining design: meeting demand variability with few added capabilities.
5
Sustainability
Bringing environmental and social criteria into decision models; circular flows.
8
Routing
Which stops a vehicle visits and in what order, under distance, time and capacity constraints.
Inventory Routing
Replenishment and distribution decided together: when, how much, and along which route.
Vehicle Assignment
Which vehicle serves which task: matching the fleet to jobs by cost and feasibility.
Pickup and Delivery
Loads picked up at one point and dropped at another, planned under pairing and precedence constraints.
Scheduling
Placing jobs on resources over time, balancing completion time, tardiness and utilization.
Dynamicity
Problems where information arrives over time: real-time re-planning, dynamic routing, online decision making.
Other
Work that does not fall under the headings above.
