An analytical modeling framework for determining the optimal table mix in restaurants
(IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2015)
We present a queuing theory based optimization model for determining the optimal table mix in a restaurant. The optimal table mix problem is formulated for an allotment policy in which the largest available group is allotted ...
A cooperative quay crane-based stochastic model to estimate vessel handling time
(Springer, 2017)
Having a good estimate of a vessel’s handling time is essential for planning and scheduling container terminal resources, such as berth positions, quay cranes (QCs) and transport vehicles. However, estimating the expected ...
Solving semi-open queuing networks with time-varying arrivals: an application in container terminal landside operations
(Elsevier, 2018-06-16)
Semi-open queuing networks (SOQNs) are widely applied to measure the performance of manufacturing, logistics, communications, restaurant, and health care systems. Many of these systems observe variability in the customer ...
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 constrained nash bargaining approach to the stock rationing problem in multi-echelon supply chains.
(IIM Ahmedabad, 2013-12-03)
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 ...
An utility-based storage assignment strategy for e-commerce warehouse management
(2019 International Conference on Data Mining Workshops (ICDMW), 2019)
Order picking is one of the most labor intensive and time consuming parts of e-commerce warehouse order management. An effective solution to the item storage assignment problem can significantly improve the efficiency of ...
A multi-tier linking approach to analyse performance of vehicle-based warehouse systems
(SSRN, 2016-04)
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, 2016-02)
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 ...
