Optimizing the Trade-off Between Batching and Waiting: Subadditive Dispatching
研究了现代物流和生产系统中快速处理订单与批量处理规模经济之间的权衡，提出模型并评估了优化方法和启发式算法的计算表现。
Trading off Waiting and Batching Many modern logistics and production systems face an inherent tension between the need to dispatch or process orders or jobs as quickly as possible and the economies of scale obtained by batching. In “Optimizing the Trade-off Between Batching and Waiting: Subadditive Dispatching,” Ignacio Erazo and Alejandro Toriello propose a model that captures this tension, study various methods to optimize it or generate high-quality heuristic solutions, and assess the methods’ computational performance.
