An expanded database structure for a class of multiperiod, stochastic mathematical programming models for process industries
Gupta, Narain; Dutta, Goutam; Fourer, Robert (IIM Ahmedabad, 2013-12-05)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 ... -

A multi-period two stage stochastic programming based decision support system for strategic planning in process industries: a case of an integrated iron and steel company
Gupta, Narain; Dutta, Goutam; Fourer, Robert (Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, 2014)The paper introduces the application of a generic, multiple period, two stage stochastic programming based Decision Support System (DSS) in an integrated steel company. We demonstrate that a generic, user friendly stochastic ... -
An Optimization-Based Decision Support System for Strategic Planning in a Process Industry: The Case of an Aluminum Company in India
Datta, Goutam; Gupta, Narain; Fourer, Robert (Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2008)We describe how a generic multi-period optimization-based decision support system (DSS) can be used for strategic planning in process industries. The DSS is built on five fundamental elements- materials, facilities, ...
