Acknowledgement This thesis summarizes my research at the Department of Logistics at the University of Mannheim from 2004 to 2009. As is customary for a project of this size and duration, I have greatly benefited from many individuals. First and foremost, I am deeply indebted to Prof. Dr. Stefan Minner for his support over the past years. Much of his enthusiasm and never-ending creativity, his openness for new ideas and innovative research fields is mirrored in my own research. His extraordinary efforts in supporting his PhD students have shaped my view on how research work should be done. Furthermore, I thank Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Peter Milling for reviewing this thesis, in spite of, and in addition to, his regular workload. I spent much time with my colleagues at the Department of Logistics. The creative and productive atmosphere makes the department a wonderful place. I thank Stefan Busch, Daniel Dittmar, Gabriele Eberhard, David Francas, Dr. Jörn Grahl, Sebastian Hild, Steffen Klosterhalfen, Dr. Mirko Kremer, Lena Kunze, Ruth Pfitzmann, Dr. Christine Prauschke, Hanno Rieping, Holger Stephan, Dr. Sandra Transchel and Dr. Hans-Joachim Vaterrodt for the numerous hours of brainstorming, discussion, and inspiration. The outcome of this thesis is also due to our fruitful discussions and your constructive criticism. Dr. Hans-Joachim Vaterrodt taught David Francas and me Linear Programming when we were students years ago. It was great to team with both as a PhD student, to get inspired from their ideas and to enjoy their relaxed characters. I am very thankful to Dr. Ralf Bauer who encouraged me to write this thesis and helped me through occasional low-motivation periods. Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the love and patience of my family. My pare
