Queuing models to analyze dwell-point and cross-aisle location in autonomous vehicle-based warehouse systems
(Elsevier, 2015)
Technological innovations in warehouse automation systems, such as Autonomous Vehicle based Storage and Retrieval System (AVS/RS), are geared towards achieving greater operational efficiency and flexibility that would be ...
Stochastic models for unit-load operations in warehouse systems with autonomous vehicles
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015)
This paper presents stochastic models for multi-tier warehouse systems that handle unit load transactions using autonomous vehicle-based technology. In this system, self-powered autonomous vehicles carry out unit-load ...
Selection of pallet management strategies based on carbon emissions impact
(Elsevier, 2015)
This work describes the lifecycle of wood pallets as they move through the supply chain and compares the environmental impacts of the three predominant pallet management strategies: single-use expendable, reusable buy/sell, ...
Queuing models to analyze dwell-point and cross-aisle location in autonomous vehicle-based warehouse systems
(European Journal of Operational Research, 2015)
Technological innovations in warehouse automation systems, such as Autonomous Vehicle based Storage and Retrieval System (AVS/RS), are geared towards achieving greater operational efficiency and flexibility that would be ...
Analyzing rental vehicle threshold policies that consider expected waiting times for two customer classes
(Elsevier, 2015)
Vehicle rental providers, which operate in an uncertain environment, offer differentiated services to priority and non-priority customers. In this research, we study one such service differentiation strategy, a vehicle ...
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 ...
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 ...
Review of green supply chain processes
(IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2015)
In the last few decades, environmental concerns of manufacturing operations have motivated the organisations to implement green principles in different processes of the supply chain. In this paper, literature in green ...
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 ...
