Proactive vs. reactive order-fulfillment resource allocation for sea-based logistics
(Elsevier pvt Ltd., 2018-06)
We study proactive and reactive sea-based order-fulfillment decisions for a set of SKUs. In such
systems, a proactive strategy may be more costly than a reactive strategy and variable marginal
costs change with respect ...
Fleet sizing for transporters with seasonal demands
(International Journal of Automation and Logistics, 2013, 2013)
We develop a quick and approximate way to address the fleet sizing problem for transporters with non-stationary demands and uncertain trip times. Non-stationary demands are modelled using Markov-modulated Poisson process ...
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 ...
A constrained nash bargaining approach to the stock rationing problem in multi-echelon supply chains
(International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2014)
In order to survive in the global volatile market place, supply chain analysts are brainstorming to arrive at robust inventory control policies that prevents inventory worth of millions of dollars to get tied up in the ...
Integrated storage-order picking systems: technology, performance models, and design insights
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In many warehouses shuttle-based technologies have replaced the traditional AS/R system based storage
technologies. The impact these systems have on downstream order picking performance is largely
unknown. To study the ...
Robot-storage zone assignment strategies in mobile fulfillment systems
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
The robotic mobile fulfillment system (MFS) is widely used for automating storage pick and pack activities in e-commerce distribution centers. In this system, the items are stored on movable storage shelves, also known as ...
An extensive evaluation of CONWIP-card controlled and scheduled start time based production system designs
(Elsevier, 2019-01)
Order release policies such as a card-controlled CONWIP policy aim to improve system responsiveness and minimize system-wide inventory levels. It is not clear if order release policies (without card control) can be equally ...
Trucking business management: cases and concepts
(McGraw-Hill Education New Delhi, 2016)
Trucking Business Management is a compilation of cases authored by professors and researchers of IIM Ahmedabad in the field of road transportation. It is an attempt to fill the business-practice gap and impart a professional ...
A multi-tier linking approach to analyze performance of vehicle-based warehouse systems
(SSRN, 2016-03-01)
To improve operational flexibility, throughput capacity, and responsiveness in order fulfillment operations, several distribution centers are implementing autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval (AVS/R) system in ...
Throughput matching algorithm and stochastic models for analysis of open and closed manufacturing systems
(SSRN, 2015)
Order release policies such as card-controlled CONWIP policy aim at improving system responsiveness and minimizing system-wide inventory levels. It is not clear if order release policies (without card control) can be equally ...
