An integrated multidimensional lot size and stock location model
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1986-08)Inventory and Warehouse Management have traditionally been viewed as separate problems. The interaction of these two management philosophies is underscored by this modelling effort. The optimality of the Cube-per-Order ... -
Analytical models for retrieving items in dense storage systems and optimizing the location of an open square
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)Dense storage systems allow for highly effective use of space; however this comes at a cost: dense storage systems can require the repositioning of stored items to retrieve other more densely desired items. These dense ... -
Context dependent discrete choice models and assortment optimization for online retail
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)Substantive research in the cognitive, psychological, and user research fields has identified that high assortment cardinality can lead to ‘information overload’-the phenomenon in which choice deferral increases when the ... -
Data-driven stochastic optimization for cyber-physical system risk management : smart power grids with renewable energy
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)Unit commitment decision is the fundamental operational decision for smart grids. Yet, the inherent unpredictable nature on both supply and demand sides, and our limited prior information of underlying input models lead ... -
Dynamic methods for matching requests to suppliers in transportation platforms
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)Peer-to-peer transportation platforms dynamically match requests (e.g., a ride, a delivery) to independent suppliers. A central challenge is how to make these matching decisions that can accommodate the different needs ... -
Enhancing community resilience by modeling social and civil infrastructures using agent-based simulation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
Implications of unmet demand within the context of supply chain restoration
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Upon creating this new supply chain restoration model and implementing it in AMPL, using CPLEX 11.0 as the integer programming solver, we offer some policy insights on supply chain restoration that reflect the results ... -
Optimal sensor and actuator selection : algorithms and performance guarantees
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)In this work, we exploit tools from submodular optimization to help close the gap between the empirical and predicted performance of the greedy algorithm for problems in sensor and actuator selection. In particular, we ... -
Task assignment and retention of volunteers in nonprofit organizations
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-12)In many nonprofit organizations, service capacity relies on volunteers. Due to a limited volunteer labor pool, high volunteer turn-over rates and limited training resources, nonprofits struggle with how to best train ... -
Two stage resource allocation decisions in modern distribution
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)In CHAPTER 5, the bilevel framework is used to examine the concept of providing choice and its value when the platform does not have perfect knowledge of drivers’ selections. A full factorial design of experiments combines ...
