碩士 / 國立東華大學 / 全球運籌管理研究所 / 97 / Using the concept of revenue management, the liner shipping company can reduce the waste of empty slots. The liner shipping company also get more profit by shipping the container type with higher marginal profit. Slot allocation is a very important operational strategy for the liner shipping company. With the unbalance of international container flow, the liner shipping company has to ship empty container to ease off the impact of international unbalanced container. The liner shipping company also uses the strategy of overbooking which has been used for a long time in the air line industry. Ocean lines have used the slot overbooking strategy to lower the loss due to no-shows.
This research discusses slot allocation of ocean industry by considering slot overbooking and empty container transshipment using a mathematic model. To deal with the slot overbooking issue, we use mixed integer programming to model the different scenarios of customer show rates. Meanwhile, we provide a strategy to offload heavy containers when the liner shipping company faces the situation which container transshipment quantity over the vessel capacity. In the end, one example is developed to illustrate the mathematic model. Compare to the mathematic model without considering the overbooking element, our model could get more expected profit. With the higher customer no-show rate, the overbooking strategy will have more noticeable effect.
