Professor
University of Nebraska - Lincoln
Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss our group’s recent and ongoing work in the area of collaborative logistics. To improve efficiency, we have been investigating the potential benefits of carrier collaboration (i.e., horizontal collaboration). Findings for the less-than-truckload pickup and delivery problem are discussed as well as insight on the effect of collaboration method on benefits. Preliminary findings on the use of combinatorial auctions to facilitate collaboration in a decentralized environment are also discussed. In addition to carrier collaboration, our group has also been investigating the potential benefits of carriers and cross-dock operators collaborating (i.e., vertical collaboration). Findings for the cross-dock scheduling problem for a multi-door facility with variable inbound trailer arrival times are discussed as well as the impact of disruptions on cross-dock operators and carriers.
