An expanded database structure for a class of multi-period, stochastic mathematical programming models for process industries
(Elsevier, 2014)
We introduce a multiple scenario, multiple period, optimization-based decision support system (DSS) for strategic planning in a process industry. The DSS is based on a two stage stochastic linear program (SLP) with recourse ...
Balancing U-shaped assembly lines with resource dependent task times: a simulated annealing approach
(Elsevier, 2014)
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., ...
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 ...
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 ...
