Examining the Efficiency of Multimodal Transportation Systems: a Systems Dynamics Approach
"With international trade becoming a big part of the world's economic activity, the demand for good freight transportation systems has grown substantially. The appropriate use of transportation is an integral part of the supply chain's effectiveness. Therefore, the continuous economic globalization, the growing demand for speed-to-market product delivery, and the need to manage global supply chains more effectively, has led to the sustained increase in demand towards multimodal transportation systems (MTS). MTS play an essential role in corporations competing in global markets in the 21st century. In transportation, the effectiveness and efficiency of the whole system depends upon the interconnectivity of its elements. Because disruptions in the supply chain are costly, this research will look at improving the efficiency of MTS by looking at disruptions that have a negative impact on the elements that make up the system. Although past research classifies disruptions in MTS as: congestion, demand fluctuations, time delays, capacity limits, scheduling and, connectivity between the different modes, limited research address the relationship between these failures and the system. This research presents a Systems Dynamics (SD) approach to model MTS, which will let us iterate and mitigate a system to be able to forecast scenarios and meaningful hypothesis of a system's behavior over time. The SD model will aid to identify and understand those major elements and disruptions that altogether impact the efficiency of the MTS. The model will help determine how the disruptive factors of the supply chain are related to the efficiency of the system and will suggest decision-making strategies that will improve MTS performance over time being able to enhance customer satisfaction"--Abstract, page iii.
Women in Industrial and Systems Engineering
This book presents a diversity of innovative and impactful research in the field of industrial and systems engineering (ISE) led by women investigators. After a Foreword by Margaret L. Brandeau, an eminent woman scholar in the field, the book is divided into the following sections: Analytics, Education, Health, Logistics, and Production. Also included is a comprehensive biography on the historic luminary of industrial engineering, Lillian Moeller Gilbreth. Each chapter presents an opportunity to learn about the impact of the field of industrial and systems engineering and women’s important contributions to it. Topics range from big data analysis, to improving cancer treatment, to sustainability in product design, to teamwork in engineering education. A total of 24 topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers are valuable for their technical innovation and excellence and their non-traditional perspective. Found within each author’s biography are their motivations for entering the field and how they view their contributions, providing inspiration and guidance to those entering industrial engineering.
Proceedings of the 2025 8th International Conference on Traffic Transportation and Civil Architecture (ICTTCA 2025)
This book is an open access. Transportation is the pioneer of economic development. In recent years, roads and bridges extend in all directions, the transportation is convenient and fast, and the logistics supply chain is stable and smooth. The transportation industry has been developing rapidly and has built a safe, convenient, efficient, green and economic modern comprehensive transportation system. In response to the requirements of the rapid development of various engineering construction, people continue to put forward new civil engineering topics, summarize successful experience through engineering practice, and promote the construction of transportation engineering. The 2025 8th International Conference on Traffic Transportation and Civil Architecture (ICTTCA 2025) will be held on April 18-20, 2025 in Tianjin, China. We sincerely invite scholars and technicians from relevant units to actively participate in the conference, exchange technology and promote innovation!
