(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2017-08-31)This paper reviews some challenges faced by humanitarian logistics and supply chain organisations in the transportation of resources, evacuees, and emergency supplies for disaster relief operations in the SADC region. To ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-09)A method is presented for reducing the required sample sizes for reporting energy savings with predetermined statistical accuracy in lighting retrofit measurement and verification projects, where the population of retrofitted ...
-
(Association for Professional Managers in South Africa, 2017-03)In this paper, the process flow within a high-end 3PL distribution centre is studied in order to determine the optimal split between the parcel size categories moved within the system. The article considers the application ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-12-06)Uncertainty is ever-present and is an integral part of life. Recognising the existence of uncertainty and its possible effects on decision-making may be important for the profitability, financial success, or even survival ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-07)In this article we present benchmark datasets for the Mixed Capacitated Arc Routing Problem under Time restrictions with Intermediate Facilities (MCARPTIF). The problem is a generalisation of the Capacitated Arc Routing ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-02)Energy meters need to be calibrated for use in Measurement and Verification (M&V) projects. However, calibration can be prohibitively expensive and a ect project feasibility negatively. This study presents a novel low-cost ...
-
(Routledge, 2016-02)Financial exclusion has been shown to have negative socioeconomic effects on citizens, especially at the bottom of the economic pyramid. South Africa suffers from high levels of financial exclusion, disproportionately ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-11)Enterprise engineering (EE) is an emerging discipline that aims to address several phenomena in the evolution of an enterprise. Previous research highlighted a particular phenomenon that requires more research - i.e., the ...
-
(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016-11-06)We have entered the age of the customer where customer choice is the main differentiator between enterprises. Therefore, enterprises need to shift their focus to customer experience management (CEM). A survey conducted ...
-
(AOSIS Open Journals, 2016-09)The inefficient and ineffective use of arable land in South Africa is one of the numerous challenges within its agricultural sector. Previous research has indicated that a method, the Farm Site Development Method (FSDM), ...
-
(Budapest University of Technology and Economics, 2016)Project managers normally are facing with di culties behind management of project cash flow, which requires distinguished methods and appropriate tools to manage negative cash flows. Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) model is ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-09)This paper develops optimal and quick near-optimal splitting procedures for the Mixed Capacitated Arc Routing Problem under Time restrictions with Intermediate Facilities. Splitting procedures are a key component of giant ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-09)The spatial system dynamics model (SSDM) of sugarcane industrial ecosystem presented in this paper is towards an integrated approach to simulate a bio refinery system suggesting directions for bagasse and trash-derived ...
-
(Springer, 2017-04)Enterprise engineering (EE) is emerging as a new discipline that is multi-disciplinary in nature. As highlighted by researchers within the EE discipline, the current status of EE endeavours as taken by several universities ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Telemetry devices are generating and transferring increasingly more data, with notable potential for decision makers. In this paper we consider the accelerometer and speed data produced by in-vehicle data recorders as a ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Using complex network theory to describe the relational geography of maritime networks has provided great insights regarding their hierarchy and evolution over the past two decades. Unlike applications in other transport ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-06)Today, and for the foreseeable future, organizations will face ever-increasing levels of complexity and uncertainty. Many believe that enterprise architecture (EA) will help organizations address such difficult terrain ...
-
(Operations Research Society of South Africa, 2016)In this article, a service facility inventory system with server interruptions and a nite number of sources are considered. The inventory is replenished according to (s; S) ordering policy. Using the matrix methods, the ...
-
(Springer, 2015-01)A disaster inventory system is considered in which two substitutable items are stored for disaster management. In the event of disaster management, a particular product may become stock-out and the situation warrants ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014)Modelling large-scale traffic flow systems at a disaggregate level can be data intensive as it requires extensive knowledge about the activities and activity chains of vehicles. This paper focuses on activity chain ...
