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 stochastic model for the throughput analysis of passing dual yard cranes
(Elsevier, 2017-11-14)
New container terminal technologies such as passing dual yard cranes per stack promise increase in stacking throughput capacity. However, dual yard cranes can interfere, which reduces the cranes’ throughput capacity. Using ...
Stochastic modeling of unloading and loading operations at a container terminal using automated lifting vehicles
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)
With the growing worldwide trade, container terminals have grown in number and size. To increase operational efficiency, many new terminals are now automated. The key focus is on improving seaside processes, where a ...
Carbon footprint analysis of pallet remanufacturing
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016-07-10)
This research is the first attempt to characterize the carbon equivalent emissions associated with pallet remanufacturing operations for two repositioning scenarios (cross-docking and take-back), and under multiple levels ...
A two-level stochastic model to estimate vessel throughput time
(College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE): Charlotte, NC, 2014)
A good estimate of the vessel sojourn time is essential for better planning and scheduling Of container terminal resources,such as berth scheduling,quay crane(qc)assignment And scheduling,and fleet size planning. ...
