Minimizing Customer Waiting Costs for Rental Vehicle Providers using Threshold Reservation Policies
(2013-11-23)
Vehicle rental providers o er di erentiated services to reserve and walk-in customers. In
this research, we study one such service di erentiation strategy, a vehicle threshold policy, which is
to hold vehicles for reserve ...
A multi-tier linking approach to analyze performance of vehicle-based warehouse systems
(SSRN, 2016-03-01)
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, 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 ...
Testing the dependence structure of the components of hybrid processes using mutual information
(IIM Ahmedabad, 2013-06)
Mutual information is a useful extension of the correlation coecient to study the dependence among multiple random processes. Hybrid processes are multivariate time series with some components continuous time series and ...
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 ...

Stochastic modelling of unloading and loading operations at a container terminal using automated lifting vehicles
(SSRN, 2015-04)
With growing worldwide trade, container terminals have grown in number and size. Many new terminals are now automated to increase operational efficiency. The key focus is on improving seaside processes, where a distinction ...
Location identification for rapid evacuation from a disaster site: a case study from KAPS
(Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, 2014)
Robust plans need to be developed for rapidly evacuating victims from a nuclear disaster site. Although nuclear plants are constructed with multiple redundant safety features, the chances of a leak can never be zero. In ...
Modeling and design of container terminal operations
(IIM Ahmedabad, 2014-06)
Design of container terminal operations is complex because multiple factors affect the operational performance. These factors include: topological constraints, a large number of design parameters and settings, and stochastic ...
