Calculation method
Calculation method
Door assignments
Process appointments by start time; choose the earliest-free door, with door number breaking ties. Start at max(appointment time, door availability).
Appointment delays (minutes)
Actual start minus booked appointment time.
Loading finish times
Actual loading start + loading duration; changeover affects later appointments.
Delayed appointments
Count appointments with positive delay.
Symbols and units
- a
- Truck appointments: name, HH:MM, loading minutes
- b
- Available doors
- c
- Door changeover minutes
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Deterministic whole-truck scheduling with identical doors and supplied loading durations. Late starts remain feasible in the proposal and are flagged. Does not reschedule driver appointments or model traffic, equipment compatibility or labour constraints.
