Minimization Of Total Tardiness In Many-To-Many Pickup And Delivery Systems, Carolyn Kidder Cuff

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In the problem considered, the objective is to minimize the total tardiness in a schedule which includes many pickup and many delivery locations. Due to the large number of items and fixed number of vehicles, a feasible schedule picking all items up after their known ready time and delivering them before their due times generally does not exist. Algorithms for single and multivehicle instances are developed. A branch and bound algorithm developed for the single vehicle finds an optimal solution. However, its use is limited to comparatively small problems. The alternative heuristic consists of 2 phases. First, the vehicle is …

IIMB Management Review

Natural gas has been recognised for a long time as a primary source in most of the developed countries. However, the developing countries like India did not realisethe full potential in this area till reeently. This is all the more appalling since natural gas seems to be India’s predominant hydrocarbon resources. As per the Advisory Board on Energy, in 1976, an Indo-Soviet geological study team had concluded that 75% of India’s ultimate hydro-carbon reserves were in the form of natural gas.

Management Controls And Modeling With Personal Computers (Pcs) For Material Procurement Within The Department Of Defense (Dod), Stefano Coppola

Theses

As an inevitable fallout of the microcomputer explosion, micro-to-mainframe links have been praised as an effective means of satisfying microcomputer users who insist for more processing power and less dependence on mainframe data processing.

Using a Personal Computer, Lotus 123, and a simulated PC-Link, a management control system was designed to satisfy the Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 7000.2 for material procurement.

The resulting model provides both the Government and the contractor's management control system with a reliable, timely, and auditable system that …
