Multi-mission optimized re-planning in air mobility command's channel route execution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The United States Air Force's Air Mobility Command is responsible for creating a schedule and executing that schedule for a large-scale air mobility network that encompasses different mission areas. One of the mission areas ...
Queuing dynamics and control of departure operations at Boston Logan Airport
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The Departure Planner (DP) is a concept for a decision-aiding tool that is aimed at improving the performance of departure operations at major congested airports. In order to support the development of DP tools and other ...
Composite mission variable formulation for real-time mission planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
In this thesis, we create a comprehensive model and efficient solution technique for generating air operations plans. Previous air operations models have fallen short in at least one of the following areas: routing. real-time ...
Human machine collaborative decision making in a complex optimization system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Numerous complex real-world applications are either theoretically intractable or unable to be solved in a practical amount of time. Researchers and practitioners are forced to implement heuristics in solving such problems ...
Tactical Shipping and Scheduling at Polaroid with Dual Lead-Times
(2002-01)
We report on a project with Polaroid Corporation in which we developed a supply chain model to provide decision support for planning production and transportation. Production occurs in Asia to serve world-wide demand. ...
Real-time Multi-period truckload routing problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis we consider a multi-period truckload pick-up and delivery problem dealing with real-time requests over a finite time horizon. We introduce the notion of postponement of requests, whereby the company can ...
Joint pricing and inventory decision for competitive products
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
We consider the joint pricing and inventory decision problem for a single retailer who orders, stocks and sells multiple products. The products are competitive in nature, e.g., these maybe similar products from multiple ...
Optimized supply routing at Dell under non-stationary demand
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
This thesis describes the design and implementation of an optimization model to manage inventory at Dell's American factories. Specifically, the model is a mixed integer program which makes routing decisions on incoming ...
Optimization-based allocation of force protection resources in an asymmetric environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
More than four years after the end of major combat operations in the 2003 Iraq War, the United States military continues to sustain casualties at rates higher than those during the ground campaign. Combat service support ...
Harmonization of aviation user charges in the North Atlantic airspace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore various harmonization scenarios for North Atlantic en route user charges. The current charging system involves eight countries, each with their own method for computing user charges. ...
