Enhanced Operational Management of Airport Ground Support Equipment for Better Aircraft Turnaround Performance


The aircraft turnaround process consists of "ground handling operations" that are required to set an aircraft ready for its subsequent departure. This work focuses on enhancing the planning and real-time allocation of apron operations that are used to turn around an aircraft between two consecutive flights.

Applying Simheuristics for Safety Stock and Planned Lead Time Optimization in a Rolling Horizon MRP System under Uncertainty


Material requirements planning (MRP) is one of the main production planning approaches implemented in enterprise resource planning systems, and one that is broadly applied in practice. In this paper, a multi-stage and multi-item production system is simulated by considering random customers’ demands and other sources of uncertainty.

Physics of Decision: Application to Polling Place Risk Management


This article introduces an innovative approach of risk and opportunity management to help managers in their decision-making processes. The proposed “physics of decision” approach enables managers to deal with the considered system’s performance trajectory by viewing and assessing the impact of potentialities (risks and opportunities).

Dynamic Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of a Stratified Heat Storage Coupled with a Heat Pump and an Organic Rankine Cycle


The storage of electrical energy is becoming increasingly important to satisfy the demand through renewable energy sources. In this paper, a continuous and discrete simulation of a pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) system are compared with respect to their computational time and accuracy.
