Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we look at the problem of an LSP controlling the means of transport and responsible for the assignment of orders to these means. Here the demand, i.e., the arrival of orders, is uncertain until the moment of unveiling. The problem we consider falls in the fourth quadrant of Fig. 1.2 . The combination of uncertaintyUncertainty or stochasticityStochastic optimisation problem and the huge number of controllable items makes the problem difficult to solve. That is why we propose to split the problem in two parts, first creating a general schedule and thereafter assigning containers to trains and barges following the schedule or assign them to a truck. We do not benchmark the solution of the method. However, we show that the approach of the assignment gives an improvement in comparison with an ‘Ad hoc’ method, which is considered a proxy for a human planner’s approach.
