Survey of mathematical programming applications in integrated steel plants
(2009-12-14)
Mathematical programming techniques were used in the steel industry as early as 1958, and many applications of optimization in steel production have been reported since then. In this survey, we summarize published applications ...
Lessons for success in OR/MS practice gained from experiences in Indian and US steel plants
(2009-12-12)
I worked on modeling integrated steel plants in India (as an analyst) and in the USA (as a doctoral student). The following factors influence the successful OR/MS practice: positioning of OR/MS in Operations and not in ...
Application of optimization based decision support system in a polymer manufacturing company in India
(2009-12-12)
In this paper we describe the application of the multi-period optimization based DSS in a polymer manufacturing company in India. This is probably the first attempt to use a mathematical programming model for operating and ...
Optimization-based decision support system for strategic and operational planning in process industries
(2010-01-16)
We describe how a generic multi-period optimization-based decision support system (DSS) can be used for strategic and operational planning in process industries. Built on five fundamental elements - materials, facilities, ...
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, ...

Economic design of CUSUM and EWMA control charts for Indian RMC Industry
(2010-01-15)
The design of a control chart has economic
consequences, in which the costs of sampling
and testing, costs associated with investigating
out of control signals and possibly correcting
assignable causes, are all affected ...
Term structure estimation in IIIiquid government bond markets : an empirical analysis for India
(2005-10-27)
With increasing liquidity of the Indian sovereign debt market since 1997, it has
become possible to estimate the term structure in India. However, the market is
characterised by several frictions that cause individual ...
