Optimization Approaches for Carrier Portfolio Management
Applications are invited for a post of Postdoctoral Research Associate dedicated to modelling using mathematical programming
and designing decomposition-based algorithms for a class of transport optimization problems, which has received limited attention
so far. These problems are related to the management of contracts for a shipper who must build a portfolio of contracts with
several carriers to cover demand over a time horizon. These problems arise when a company sells its products on the Internet
and distributes them from several warehouses in a territory. Such a shipper has to determine how subcontract its transport activities
to various companies.
