However, their installation is highly weather-dependent, making the planning of costly resources, like jack-up vessels or port spaces, challenging. While existing models support strategic and tactical planning, there is a lack of effective decision support at the operational level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo close this gap, this book presents an innovative online scheduling methodology based on a Model Predictive Control scheme. This approach combines Mixed-Integer scheduling models with control theory and a novel probabilistic method for integrating forecast uncertainty into operational planning. The resulting decision support system doesn't only enable reactive and weather-informed operational planning but also supports tactical and strategic decisions based on historical data. Simulation studies demonstrate significant potential: a reduction in variable costs of up to 9% and clear advantages over existing robust or control-based approaches in terms of planning reliability, cost efficiency, and responsiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer Vieweg\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658499112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-49912-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 211\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499521831052,"sku":"9783658499112","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658499112.jpg?v=1775068363","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783658499112","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
