This paper addresses the problem of designing a depannage service network for freight transportation fleets in order to fill up an evident gap in Operations Management literature. As a matter of fact, breakdowns have a significant impact on service level and an efficient and effective assistance service is needed in order to guarantee competitive advantage. Aiming at laying the foundations for further research on modelling and solving the considered problem, a literature review is performed for identifying analogies with other problems, already approached in the past, and stating the problem. Finally, parameters, decision variables and objective function that should be considered for modelling and solving the problem are proposed, trying to stimulate the discussion on a new research theme and, more specifically, on the integration of decisions at strategic, tactical and operational level into a systemic model.

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of designing a depannage service network for freight transportation fleets in order to fill up an evident gap in Operations Management literature. As a matter of fact, breakdowns have a significant impact on service level and an efficient and effective assistance service is needed in order to guarantee competitive advantage. Aiming at laying the foundations for further research on modelling and solving the considered problem, a literature review is performed for identifying analogies with other problems, already approached in the past, and stating the problem. Finally, parameters, decision variables and objective function that should be considered for modelling and solving the problem are proposed, trying to stimulate the discussion on a new research theme and, more specifically, on the integration of decisions at strategic, tactical and operational level into a systemic model.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
