Supply-chain strategies for MEMS-enabled products at ABB
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
MEMS (Micro-Electronic Mechanical Systems) is an emerging and promising technology. It offers the promise of unique competitive advantages to companies able master the difficulties associated with it. One of those difficulties ...
Reducing total fulfillment at costs at Amazon EU through network design optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
A key supply chain management issue encountered by any business requiring a distribution system is in designing its distribution network. A distribution network configuration has both direct and indirect ongoing effects ...
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 ...
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. ...
