Abstract:
Successful Army operations depend on the efficient handling, storage, and flow of materials. Accidents associated with materiel handling activities not only affect the efficiency of an operation but also endanger the lives of Army personnel. In addition, the annual cost to the Army for materiel handling accidents averages approximately $4,315,836. The high incidence and cost of materiel handling accidents poses significant operational problems for the Army. The Army could make great strides in alleviating these operational burdens as well as meeting its safety goals through concerted accident prevention efforts. The U.S. Army Safety Center is making its first attempt to quantify the system problems in the Materiel Handling Major Problem Areas. Improvements in the design of materiel handling equipment and in supervisory practices and training methods may be applicable both to other government agencies and in the private sector.

Abstract:
In line with the quality management principles applied within a functional settlement of an organization, unconcerned of the size or principal object of activity, port operators should be treated as operational entities carrying out specific activities, aiming to achieve specific objectives, that are prior determined but in dependence with their location and role determined alongside the port logistic chain. The process-based approach involves establishing the processes and sub-processes applied to achieve the port operator's entire set of objectives, functions and tasks. As with any business, the company aims at lowering costs, delivering better, consistent and predictable results, focusing on priority. These can be more easily achieved through a process approach that allows the systematic definition of the activities necessary to achieve the desired outcome, setting clear and quantifiable responsibilities for key management activities, analysing and measuring the capability of core activities, identifying links between key activities and the organization's functions, focusing on the elements that can improve the organization's activities (resources, methods and materials) and assessing the risks, consequences and impact of activities on all stakeholders. Carrying out the process map, identifying the data stream, establishing input and output data are the first steps applied in orderto achieve a process model that will further allow the identification of indicators to improve the quality of the services provided and consequently to ensure the satisfaction of customers and other stakeholders.

Abstract:
Ground handling operations can be accepted as the heart of safe flight, beginning from the ground to the air. In ground handling activities where there is tight time pressure, human resources are of great importance in efficient and safe service. This study presents ergonomic risk factors affecting the operational and corporate performance of aircraft ground handling services. Ergonomic related performance fields are identified via expert opinion and a taxonomy focusing on classified error conditions for ground handling services. The taxonomy is developed to improve corporate performance while eliminating ergonomic risks and maintaining a safe working environment. Identified performance risks are intended to be a guide for operational managers in aircraft ground operations in the field of investments, decision making and safe operations.

Abstract:
Ground handling services constitute an important element of airline operations and significantly affect traffic stability and punctuality. In this article, the existing and potential impact of airline handling on air traffic volatility is reviewed from the point of view of airlines and ground operations. The issues of airline expectations towards ground handling agents (including handling rates, turnaround time, passenger services, and ramp services) are explored. In addition, the impact of an airline’s schedule and the volatility of its operations on the performance and operational requirements of handling agents is discussed, including actions required by handling agents in response to the above challenges. The mechanism of how the volatility of an airline’s schedule and its operations may impact the volatility of ground operations (directly and indirectly) is considered. The statistics of airline delays caused by ground operations are presented and discussed. The issue of the correctness of air traffic delays reporting by airlines is investigated.Furthermore, this article investigates internal factors of ground handling agents and their impact on air traffic volatility. The existing and potential considerations discussed include staff management issues (in particular, employee rotation resulting in staff shortages and service quality, including punctuality), resources management, the ground service support equipment (including new developments aiming at limiting ground safety incidents), and their impact on performance.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new optimization model for ship’s cargo handling operations which solution gives the structure of cargo handling resources required, along with attaining the minimum total ‘in-port’ costs and the minimum of time required for completion of cargo operations. Due to complexity of the model which consists of composite multi-objective functions together with several decision variables and constraints, the solution has been sought by utilization of an adapted genetic algorithm combined with a hybrid algorithm. Testing of the model on real world data yielded acceptable results in a short time. In the course of decision making, the ship’s operator can, on the basis of the proposed model and taking into consideration shipping market data, choose appropriate variation of the returned solution, which incorporates minimum costs, minimum of operational time and related cargo handling resources.

Abstract:
Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2018-2019.
Les activités de distribution et d’entreposage sont des piliers importants de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Ils assurent la stabilité du flux de matières et la synchronisation de toutes les parties prenantes du réseau. Un centre de distribution (CD) agit comme un point de découplage entre l’approvisionnement, la production et les ventes. La distribution comprend un large éventail d’activités visant à assurer la satisfaction de la demande. Ces activités passent de la réception au stockage des produits finis ou semi-finis, à la préparation des commandes et à la livraison. Les opérations d’un CD sont maintenant perçues comme des facteurs critiques d’amélioration. Elles sont responsables de la satisfaction d’un marché en évolution, exigeant des délais de livraison toujours plus rapides et plus fiables, des commandes exactes et des produits hautement personnalisés. C’est pourquoi la recherche en gestion des opérations met beaucoup d’efforts sur le problème de gestion des CDs. Depuis plusieurs années, nous avons connu de fortes avancées en matière d’entreposage et de préparation de commandes. L’activité de préparation de commandes est le processus consistant à récupérer les articles à leur emplacement de stockage afin d’assembler des commandes. Ce problème a souvent été résolu comme une variante du problème du voyageur de commerce, où l’opérateur se déplace à travers les allées de l’entrepôt. Cependant, les entrepôts modernes comportent de plus en plus de familles de produits ayant des caractéristiques très particulières rendant les méthodes conventionnelles moins adéquates. Le premier volet de cette thèse par articles présente deux importants et complexes problèmes de manutention des produits lors de la préparation des commandes. Le problème de préparation des commandes a été largement étudié dans la littérature au cours des dernières décennies. Notre recherche élargit le spectre de ce problème en incluant un ensemble de caractéristiques associées aux installations physiques de la zone de prélèvement, comme les allées étroites, et aux caractéristiques des produits (poids, volume, catégorie, fragilité, etc.). Une perspective plus appliquée à la réalité des opérations est utilisée dans notre développement d’algorithmes. Les déplacements liés à la préparation des commandes sont fortement influencés par le positionnement des produits. La position des produits dans la zone de prélèvement est déterminée par une stratégie d’affectation de stockage (storage assignment strategy). Beaucoup de ces stratégies utilisent de l’information sur les ventes des produits afin de faciliter l’accès aux plus populaires. Dans l’environnement concurrentiel d’aujourd’hui, la durée de vie rentable d’un produit peut être relativement courte. Des promotions peuvent également être faites pour pousser différents produits sur le marché. Le positionnement fourni par la stratégie d’hier ne sera probablement plus optimal aujourd’hui. Il existe plusieurs études mesurant l’impact d’une bonne réaffectation de produits sur les opérations de prélèvement. Cependant, ils étudient la différence des performances avec les positionnements passés et actuels. La littérature démontre clairement que cela apporte des avantages en termes d’efficacité. Toutefois, les déplacements nécessaires pour passer d’une position à une autre peuvent constituer une activité très exigeante. Ceci constitue le second volet de cette thèse qui présente des avancées intéressantes sur le problème de repositionnement des produits dans la zone de prélèvement. Nous présentons le problème de repositionnement des produits sous une forme encore peu étudiée aux meilleurs de nos connaissances : le problème de repositionnement. Plus précisément, nous étudions la charge de travail requise pour passer d’une configuration à l’autre. Cette thèse est structuré comme suit. L’introduction présente les caractéristiques et les missions d’un système de distribution. Le chapitre 1 fournit un survol de la littérature sur les principales fonctions d’un centre de distribution et met l’accent sur la préparation des commandes et les décisions qui affectent cette opération. Le chapitre 2 est consacré à l’étude d’un problème de préparation de commandes en allées étroites avec des équipements de manutention contraignants. Dans le chapitre 3, nous étudions un problème de préparation des commandes où les caractéristiques des produits limitent fortement les routes de prélèvement. Le chapitre 4 présente une variante du problème de repositionnement (reassignment) avec une formulation originale pour le résoudre. La conclusion suit et résume les principales contributions de cette thèse. Mots clés : Préparation des commandes, entreposage, problèmes de routage, algorithmes exacts et heuristiques, réaffectation des produits, manutention.
Distribution and warehousing activities are important pillars to an effective supply chain. They ensure the regulation of the operational flow and the synchronization of all actors in the network. Hence, distribution centers (DCs) act as crossover points between the supply, the production and the demand. The distribution includes a wide range of activities to ensure the integrity of the demand satisfaction. These activities range from the reception and storage of finished or semi-finished products to the preparation of orders and delivery. Distribution has been long seen as an operation with no or low added value; this has changed, and nowadays it is perceived as one of the critical areas for improvement. These activities are responsible for the satisfaction of an evolving market, requiring ever faster and more reliable delivery times, exact orders and highly customized products. This leads to an increased research interest on operations management focused on warehousing. For several years, we have witnessed strong advances in warehousing and order picking operations. The order picking activity is the process of retrieving items within the storage locations for the purpose of fulfilling orders. This problem has long been solved as a variant of the travelling salesman problem, where the order picker moves through aisles. However, modern warehouses with more and more product families may have special characteristics that make conventional methods irrelevant or inefficient. The first part of this thesis presents two practical and challenging material handling problems for the order picking within DCs. Since there are many research axes in the field of warehousing operations, we concentrated our efforts on the order picking problem and the repositioning of the products within the picking area. The order picking problem has been intensively studied in the literature. Our research widens the spectrum of this problem by including a set of characteristics associated with the physical facilities of the picking area and characteristics of the product, such as its weight, volume, category, fragility, etc. This means that a more applied perspective on the reality of operations is used in our algorithms development. The order picking workload is strongly influenced by the positioning of the products. The position of products within the picking area is determined by a storage assignment strategy. Many of these strategies use product sales information in order to facilitate access to the most popular items. In today’s competitive environment, the profitable lifetime of a product can be relatively short. The positioning provided by yesterday’s assignment is likely not the optimal one in the near future. There are several studies measuring the impact of a good reassignment of products on the picking operations. However, they study the difference between the two states of systems on the picking time. It is clear that this brings benefits. However, moving from one position to another is a very workload demanding activity. This constitutes the second part of this thesis which presents interesting advances on the repositioning of products within the picking area. We introduce the repositioning problem as an innovative way of improving performance, in what we call the reassignment problem. More specifically, we study the workload required to move from one setup to the next. This thesis is structured as follows. The introduction presents the characteristics and missions of a distribution system. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the literature on the main functions of a DC and emphasizes on order picking and decisions affecting this operation. Chapter 2 is devoted to the study of a picking problem with narrow aisles facilities and binding material handling equipment. In Chapter 3, we study the picking problem with a set of product features that strongly constrain the picking sequence. Chapter 4 presents a variant of the reassignment problem with a strong and new formulation to solve it. The conclusion follows and summarizes the main contributions of this thesis. Key words: Order-picking, warehousing, routing problems, exact and heuristic algorithms, products reassignment, material handling.

Abstract:
The prevention of incidents and injuries is fundamental for any industry activity since those events may result in serious economic, environmental, and human losses. Due to the centralization of Linde filling operations within Sweden, several of their plants are being phased out to move the production to Enköping. The elevated raise of Linde's production led to a high increase of forklift drivers and stock levels and consequently brought up the number of incidents related to forklift driving. This thesis aims to obtain knowledge to mitigate forklift truck related safety hazards as well as understand how to eliminate risks and unsafe situations at this type of operation. This project was divided into 3 phases. Phase I consisted of understanding operations routines and its safety risks, assessing Enköping site internal state (with a safety survey, and several visits and interviews), and benchmarking the most common practices based on other companies' forklift-related processes (with visits and interviews). In phase II, parallelly to ISite software implementation, studies utilizing different engineering tools (Spaghetti Diagram, VSM, Fishbone Diagram, and FMEA) were performed in order to gather information and understand how to optimize the site's forklift-related safety. In this phase, a tailored observational KPI was developed in order to assess the site independently of incident measurement regarding four groups: Site, Pedestrian activity, Forklift operation, and Forklift operator behavior. In phase III, all data acquired was discussed, and conclusions were made based on the data analysis and discussions of the results of Phase II implementation allied with the theoretical references. The survey findings showed the high degree of importance given to safety at Linde in Enköping. It also revealed, in addition to all engineering tools applied, which elements should be focused in order to optimize the forklift trucks operational safety (mainly related to Technology dimension). Based on the benchmark comparison, it is possible to allege that the absence of a maintenance facility is the main disadvantage of Linde in Enköping. In contrast, the usage of I-Site fleet management software represents an important step towards safety. The I-Site knowledge and the awareness of its benefits grew among management and operators as setup issues, and technical malfunctioning was eliminated. The observational KPI has obtained preliminary overall values above 0,82 for all groups (on a scale of 0 to 1), proving itself capable of measuring the safety performance and identifying risks and unsafe situations.
Att förebygga incidenter och skador är grundläggande för all branschaktivitet eftersom dessa händelser kan leda till allvarliga ekonomiska, miljömässiga och mänskliga förluster. På grund av centraliseringen av Lindes fyllningsverksamheten inom Sverige har flera av deras anläggningar fasats ut för att flytta produktionen till Enköping. Den utökade produktionen på Linde Enköping skapade behov av fler truckförare, högre lagernivåer och ökade följaktligen antalet incidenter relaterade till gaffeltruck. Avhandlingen syftar till att få kunskap för att mildra säkerhetsrisker för gaffeltruckar samt förstå hur man kan eliminera risker och osäkra situationer vid denna typ av verksamhet. Detta projekt delades in i tre faser. Fas I bestod av att förstå driftsrutiner och dess säkerhetsrisker, utvärdera det interna tillståndet på Linde Enköpings arbetsplats (med en säkerhetsundersökning, flera besök och olika intervjuer) och benchmarka de vanligaste metoderna baserat på andra företags gaffeltruckrelaterade processer (med besök och intervjuer). I fas II, parallellt med I-Site-programvaruimplementering, utfördes studier med olika tekniska verktyg (Spaghetti Diagram, VSM, Fishbone Diagram och FMEA) för att undersöka och förstå hur man optimerar verksamhetens gaffeltruckrelaterade säkerhet. I denna fas utvecklades en skräddarsydd observations-KPI för att utvärdera verksamheten oberoende av att mäta incidenter avseende fyra grupper: Plats, fotgängare, gaffeltruck och beteende för gaffeltruck. I fas III diskuterades alla förvärvade data, slutsatser gjordes baserade på dataanalysen och diskussionerna om resultaten av fas II-implementering tillsammans med teoretiska referenser. Undersökningsresultaten visade hur högt säkerhet prioriteras vid Linde Enköping. Den avslöjade också, utöver alla tillämpade konstruktionsverktyg, vilka element som bör fokuseras på för att optimera truckens driftssäkerhet (främst relaterad till teknikdimension). Baserat på den benchmarking som genomfördes är det möjligt att hävda att frånvaron av underhållsanläggning är den största nackdelen med Linde i Enköping. Däremot är användningen av mjukvara för I-Site-flottanhantering ett viktigt steg mot säkerheten. Kunskapen om I-SITE och medvetenheten om dess fördelar växte bland ledningen och operatörerna när installationsproblem och tekniska funktionsfel eliminerades. Utfallen för observations-KPI har erhållit preliminära totalvärden över 0,82 för alla grupper (i en skala från 0 till 1), och visar sig kapabel att mäta säkerhet i genomförande samt att identifiera risker och osäkra situationer.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Física
Since the dawn of human kind the celestial sphere has had a special place in our imagination. I always felt the same passion for the cosmos. In particular, fuelled by the journeys of discovery of the Solar System, I always dreamed of dedicating myself to planetary exploration. To follow that idea I studied physics and, in 1999, I finally got the opportunity to work in Planetary Science research. It all started in the Lisbon Observatory, where I was able to analyse infrared data from the Jupiter orbiter, Galileo, collected by its Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS). At this stage I learned some methods used in data analysis. I continued my career in the European Space Agency in the Science Planning of the SMART-1 lunar spacecraft. I remained in this mission for the following seven years, and saw my responsibilities grow. I started by giving technical support to the Project Scientist. By the end of the mission I had been a major player in the setup of the planning system, and worked in all capacities within the SMART-1 Science and Technology Operations Centre, and the Advanced Moon Micro-Imager Experiment (AMIE). Finally, in 2006, I started working in the Venus Express project as a Liaison Scientist for the Venus Monitoring Camera (VMC) instrument. I was able to re-work the VMC planning system with the Principal Investigator in order to gather more valuable science data. While this optimization was done, and since the spacecraft was already orbiting Venus, my duties also included, and still do, to plan and operate the VMC camera. During my entire career I have had two side projects running along my main tasks. I always had an interest for innovation and some of my ideas developed to integral parts of my main projects. I also always kept an interest in data analysis, as time permitted, that I carried with NIMS, AMIE and VMC.

Abstract:
Master in Management and Industrial Strategy
RFID technology (Radio Frequency IDentification) is an automatic identification method relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices (RFID tags or transponders) enabling the contactless identification of objects. RFID has been around for decades but only during the last years has become one of the most promising research areas with more and more attention focused on it. The retail sector had been leading the way with logistics applications, followed by some government agencies with identification systems and by different sectors of activity (pharmaceuticals, aircraft manufacturing, etc). Together with the last technological developments, new ideas and concepts are generating new paradigms as the "Internet of Things". The "Internet of Things" can be described as "Things having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces using intelligent interfaces to connect and communicate within social, environmental, and user contexts ".1 Also during the last decades, air transportation has become more and more important for people mobility and goods transportation in the global economy environment. According to IATA , RFID can be used as a way to improve a range of airline business processes while cutting costs. IATA had developed a standard for RFID baggage tags and recommended practices and business cases for the use of RFID in baggage handling. With this study it is planed to analyse the situation in the two main airports in Portugal (Lisbon and Oporto), based in Portway ground handling operations, compare it with some actual developments, the E-Cab Project and IATA proposals and recommendations, and to evaluate scenarios and their feasibility in a near future.
A tecnologia RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) é um método de identificação automático de armazenamento e recuperação remota de informação, recorrendo a dispositivos (etiquetas ou transmissores-receptores RFID) que permitem a sua leitura à distância e sem necessidade de qualquer contacto directo com os objectos. Sendo uma tecnologia já com décadas de existência, só durante os últimos anos é que se tem evidenciado como uma das mais promissoras , captando cada vez mais atenção por parte dos diversos actores. O sector de retalho tem vindo a promover a sua divulgação, liderando o desenvolvimento de diversas aplicações logísticas e sendo seguido, durante os últimos anos, por algumas agências governamentais com o desenvolvimento de sistemas de identificação e por diversos outrossectores de actividade (farmacêutica, construção aeronáutica, etc). Em simultâneo com os mais recentes progressos tecnológicos e com o desenvolvimento de conceitos mais inovadores, um novo paradigma tem aparecido com a designação da "Internet dos Objectos". A "Internet dos Objectos" pode ser descrita como "objectos possuindo identidades e personalidades virtuais operando em espaços inteligentes usando interfaces inteligentes para ligar e comunicar em contextos sociais, ambientais e no seio dos utilizadores". Também durante as últimas décadas, o transporte aéreo tem vindo a desempenhar um papel cada vez mais importante para a mobilidade das populações e para o transporte de mercadorias no ambiente da economia global. De acordo com a IATA, as tecnologias RFID poderão vir a ser utilizadas com sucesso, reduzindo custos e melhorando um vasto conjunto de processos correntes no sector, tendo já desenvolvido alguns normativos e recomendações relativas à aplicação de etiquetas RFID na identificação e monitorização de bagagem. Com este trabalho pretende-se analisar a situação nos dois principais aeroportos Portugueses (Lisboa e Porto), baseada nas operações de handling da Portway, comparar os resultados obtidos com os desenvolvimentos actuais resultantes do Projecto E-Cab e com as propostas e recomendações da IATA, avaliando cenários e a possibilidade da sua concretização num futuro próximo.

This thesis investigates best practices for Highly Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (HAPI) milling and blending. We utilize a qualitative analysis centering on a benchmarking study and quantitative analyses using a probabilistic capacity simulation and tradeoff methodology. The analyses indicate that the growing number of HAPI products in a manufacturer's portfolio may result in capacity constraints. Therefore, we recommend that manufacturers pursue process improvement technologies. Suggested process improvements include implementing online particle size measurement and Wash in Place (WIP) and Clean in Place (CIP) cleaning systems. Online particle size measurement allows for better process control and eliminates the need for HAPI blending for homogenization. Automated WIP and CIP systems decrease changeover time and allow for higher equipment availability. Additionally, the results of the analyses suggest that manufacturers consider standardizing transportation containers with the upstream vendors and downstream consumers. Lastly, from an organizational standpoint, we recommend that manufacturers include both subject matter experts and operations personnel when developing and implementing internal guidelines so as to ensure the guidelines are practical and uniformly applied.

We propose a novel method to quantify the cost of activities involved in the picking portion of order fulfillment. We adapt the general method of picking cost quantification to the specific situation of TP&G, a publicly held utility, to build a simulation model which calculates total cost (procurement purchasing costs + material handling costs) across TP&G's Construction Materials Supply Chain (CMSC) . We use the simulation model to demonstrate the effect of case pack quantities and various disputed (within TP&G) material handling policies on supply chain costs. Finally. we move beyond the descriptive results of the simulation model and build optimization models for a case where a single case pack quantity is held in inventory, under conditions of both deterministic and stochastic demand. We show that case pack quantity held in inventory greatly impacts supply chain costs. We also find the novel result that the optimal material picking policy for both deterministic and stochastic demand is a threshold policy whereby orders should be fulfilled with whole case packs up to the highest possible multiple of case pack quantity that does not exceed an ordered quantity. If the remainder of an order to be fulfilled exceeds a certain number of units in a case pack, that remainder should be fulfilled with a whole case pack (overfilled). This threshold can be efficiently calculated for all case pack quantities (optimal or not).

Abstract:
Summary Aim: The aim with the study was to explore the work conditions of the Ground staff performing unloading and loading from an HTO perspective, and to identify areas for improvement. Research questions: 1. Which factors are important for the work performance? 2. To what degree do the employees follow the work instructions regarding the use of the equipment on the ramp? 3. Which recommendations can be provided to improve work performance at ramp operations and minimize risks for accidents? Background: Ramp operations have, according to Studic et al., (2017), repeatedly been estimated as one of the areas with the highest, still increasing, safety risks. Passenier, Sharpanskykh and de Boer (2015) also confirms how the work within the ramp operations, and performance of unloading and loading, is an area with high risks of injuries and deaths. Methods: The study was conducted with a qualitative research approach and Descriptive Case study design (Baxter & Jacks, 2008). Results: Five categories were found; time pressure, “safety mindset”, education, culture and equipment. The findings also showed that the employees prioritize the safety of the aircraft rather than their own safety. Conclusions: Out of the five factors, time pressure and equipment are the factors in the environment which the respondents have to work in line with to make it function in the environment.

Abstract:
As part of the campaign to increase readiness in northern regions, a near commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution was identified for the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV); and used to assess the suitability of commercially available winter tires for operational deployment. Initial performance evaluations conducted during the winters of 2020 and 2021 demonstrated and quantified significant improvements to traction and handling on a variety of winter surfaces. User feedback from United States Army Alaska (USARAK) Soldiers confirmed these results in an operational environment. Results of this study provide new winter tire specifications for the Army and justify the procurement of a HMMWV winter tire for improved safety and capability for US Soldier and vehicle fleet needs. The data and Soldier evaluations support attaining a National Stock Number (NSN) and provide data to develop models of winter vehicle performance that include the impact of winter tires and chains. This work also paves the way for future development and procurement of winter tires for vehicles where COTS solutions are unavailable. The motivation is to provide Soldiers with state-of-the-art winter tires to increase safety, capability, and operational compatibility with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners in the European Theater of Operations, and mobility superiority in all environments.
