Logistics plays a vital role in all sectors, even in unconventional areas. This paper demonstrates the benefits of optimizing logistics processes in atypical contexts like the performing arts. A methodological tool was developed and implemented for managing theater productions.

Abstract
Logistics plays a vital role in all sectors, even in unconventional areas. This paper demonstrates the benefits of optimizing logistics processes in atypical contexts like the performing arts. A methodological tool was developed and implemented for managing theater productions. Each production consists of a variable number of items, adding complexity to their efficient management across multiple warehouses. The continuous development of new productions and maintenance efforts have strained logistics operations, causing inefficiencies. Valuable artworks require specific care during handling. A customized algorithm and logistics solution were developed for the performing arts and implemented in a software tool. This latter considers planned demand, scheduling the theater season, and stochastic demand, driven by equipment rental requests, and incorporates operators' expertise and historical data for accurate modeling. A numerical case study tests the algorithm using the software, showcasing its ease of use, effectiveness, and efficiency. This paper aims at providing an hands-on experience, demonstrating the benefits of the tool.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
