Balancing U-shaped assembly lines with resource dependent task times: a simulated annealing approach
(Elsevier, 2014)The advent of Just-in-Time (JIT) and Group Technology philosophies has popularized U-shaped assembly lines, which help overcome many of the disadvantages, like line inflexibility, job monotony, large inventories, etc., ... -
Balancing U-shaped assembly lines with resource dependent task times: a simulated annealing approach
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2013)The advent of Just-in-Time (JIT) and Group Technology philosophies has popularized U-shaped assembly lines, which help overcome many of the disadvantages, like line inflexibility, job monotony, large inventories, etc., ... -
A cutting plane approach for the multi-machine precedence-constrained scheduling problem
(Springer, 2020)A cutting-plane approach is developed for the problem of optimally scheduling jobs with arbitrary precedence constraints on unrelated parallel machines to minimize weighted completion time. While the single machine version ... -
Database structure for a class of multi-period mathematical programming models
(Decision Support Systems, 2008-11-10)We introduce how a generic multi-period optimization based decision support system (DSS) can be used for strategic and operational planning in a company with five fundamental elements, namely Materials, Facilities, Activities, ... -

Dynamic portfolio optimization
(Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, 2006)A Short term investor is looking for immediate gains. He has to keep changing his stocks so that he gets the maximum returns. This project aims to do that . Initially the market trends are studied and a model is come up ... -
An expanded database structure for a class of multi-period, stochastic mathematical programming models for process industries
(Elsevier, 2014)We introduce a multiple scenario, multiple period, optimization-based decision support system (DSS) for strategic planning in a process industry. The DSS is based on a two stage stochastic linear program (SLP) with recourse ... -
Modeling and analysis of order fulfillment decisions in retail
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2023)"Today, retailing emphasis has shifted from transaction-orientation to consumer-orientation, where retailers are focusing to enhance the customers’ shopping experience. Retailers are redesigning their order fulfillment ... -
Modeling emergency evacuation with time and resource constraints: a case study from Gujarat
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)This study develops an off-site emergency response plan for a nuclear power plant in Gujarat, India subject to time constraints with resource limitations and risk of radiation exposure to victims. We formulate an optimization ... -

New decision support system for strategic planning in process industries: computational results
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The impact of a Stochastic Linear Programming (SLP) based Decision Support System in a manufacturing company, such as an integrated aluminum plant, is measured by two important parameters, the VSS and EVPI. With the real ... -
A new valid inequalities for optional communication spanning tree problem
(Informs Journal on Computing, 2019)The problem of designing a spanning tree on an underlying graph to minimize the flow costs of a given set of traffic demands is considered. Several new classes of valid inequalities are developed for the problem. Tests on ... -
An optimization based decision support system for strategic and operational planning with in-process industries: case of pharmaceuticals industry in India
(2007-10-29)We describe how a generic multi-period optimization-based decision support system (DSS) can be used for strategic planning in process industries. The DSS is built on five fundamental elements—materials, facilities, activities, ... -
