Loading, unloading and premarshalling of stacks in storage areas: Survey and classification

European Journal of Operational Research, 2014, vol. 239, issue 2, 297-312

Abstract: Problems of loading, unloading and premarshalling of stacks as well as combinations thereof appear in several practical applications, e.g. container terminals, container ship stowage planning, tram depots or steel industry. Although these problems seem to be different at first sight, they hold plenty of similarities. To precisely unite all aspects, we suggest a classification scheme and show how problems existing in literature can be described with it. Furthermore, we give an overview of known complexity results and solution approaches.
