An Optimization-Based Decision Support System for Strategic Planning in a Process Industry: The Case of an Aluminum Company in India
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2008)
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, ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
Sea container terminals: new technologies and OR models
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)
Owing to a rapid growth in world trade and a large increase in the flow of containerized goods, sea container terminals play a vital role in globe-spanning supply chains. Container terminals should be able to handle large ...
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 ...
