Full textThis dissertation presents the results of a research project aiming to optimise the scheduling of activities within a research laboratory of the “Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA)”. To tackle this problem, we decompose every activity into a set of elementary tasks to apply standard scheduling methods. We model the problem as an extended version of the Multi-Skill Project Scheduling Problem (MSPSP). As a first approach, we propose an MSPSP with penalty for preemption, along with its mixed-integer/linear programming (MILP) formulation, where the preemption is allowed applying a penalty every time an activity is interrupted. However, the previous approach does not take into account all safety constraints at the facility, and a more accurate variant of the problem is needed. We then propose to integrate the concept of partial preemption to the MSPSP. This concept, which has not been yet studied in the scientific literature, implies that only a subset of resources is released during preemption periods. The resulting MSPSP with partial preemption (MSPSP-PP) is modelled using two methodologies: MILP and constraint programming. Regarding the industrial need of having good solutions in a short time, we also present a series of heuristics algorithms for the MSPSP-PP. First, we present a serial greedy algorithm, using priority rules and a flow problem for the allocation of technicians. To improve the solutions of the greedy algorithm, we present a binary-tree-based search algorithm and a greedy randomised adaptive search procedure. Finally, we present a large neighbourhood search algorithm, a hybrid procedure combining exact and heuristic methods. A mock-up of a Graphical User Interface, allowing the exploitation of the scheduling algorithms by the CEA is also presented

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is ranked as the top hospital in New England and second nation-wide. It is also the largest hospital in New England; it uses an average of 58 operating rooms, where approximately 150 surgical procedures are performed daily. Management of surgical supplies is a critical component of the processes supporting this infrastructure. Specifically, ensuring the right equipment and supplies are available at the right time is critical for the efficiency and quality outcomes of each of the procedures. The materials management group handles over 10,000 unique items, purchased from more than 400 vendors. The majority (60-70%) of disposable supplies are ordered through Owens & Minor, a medical and surgical supplies distributor. The supplies are stored in multiple locations throughout the hospital, including two central locations as well as carts and cabinets on the surgical floors and in the operating rooms. The work described in this thesis focuses on the inventory management of disposable surgical supplies, where the current system design has inefficiencies in the inventory levels and location of items. Using a data-driven approach, based on historical demand, we calculate base stock levels by item that maintain three days of inventory at a 99 percent service level. In addition, we suggest a methodology to support decisions on inventory locations of the different items. Implementation of the recommended changes is estimated to result in savings of 30-40% in inventory levels (and space), corresponding to a one time saving of $700,000-$900,000, depending on the implementation scenario. In addition, the reduction in inventory levels can be translated to future savings in inventory holding costs at an estimated 40% rate, leading to a saving of roughly $300,000 annually.

Full textGlobalization has transformed the world into a big village in which the rich are becoming richer and the poor getting poorer. In the commercial world the trend is for big business to buy out the smaller companies and consequently get bigger. Yet it is arguable that small businesses have assisted in providing much needed services to small communities that occupy informal settlements and exist on or below the poverty datum line. The South African government has amongst its main objectives the alleviation of poverty and the improvement of life in previously disadvantaged communities. The government has allowed the micro-enterprises and small businesses in the informal sector to thrive and in this sector are Spaza shops that supply a wide range of grocery commodities to informal settlements. This paper is about an application framework of soft and hard operational research (OR) techniques used to address the performance of micro-enterprises with Spaza shops in Western Cape as a specific case study. The techniques include Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) using Causal mapping and Soft System Methodology (SSM). These were chosen because of their suitability to understand performance problems faced by Spaza shops owners and find ways of improving the current situation by modelling the intervention of stakeholders. The improvement of Spaza shop businesses is a matter for all stakeholders. Causal mapping, helped to identify and structure the multiple conflicting aspects of Spaza shops business. Soft System Methodology made it possible to conceptualize the intervention model based on the rich picture and root definitions for relevant world-views and see what changes are culturally feasible and systematically desirable. Computer simulations were used to help design and test performance measurement indicators for the Spaza shops so as to enable decision-makers to choose the optimal strategy. Statistical analysis came into account to enable us to capture the seasonality and bring up clustering patterns.

The thesis applies optimization theory to three problems in operations management. In the first part of the thesis, we investigate the impact of inventory control on the availability of drugs to patients at public health facilities in Zambia. We present consistent empirical data and simulation results showing that, because of its failure to properly anticipate seasonal variations in demand and supply lead-times, this system leads to predictable patient-level stock-outs even when there is ample inventory available in the central warehouse. Secondly, we propose an alternative inventory control system relying on mobile devices and mathematical optimization, and present results from a validated simulation model suggesting that its implementation would lead to a substantial improvement of patient access to drugs relative to the current system. In the second part of the thesis, we investigate the impact of returning customers on pricing for fashion Internet retailers. Our analysis of clickstream data from an online fashion retailer shows that a significant proportion of sales is due to returning customers, i.e. customers who first visit an item at a particular price, but purchase the item in a later visit at a lower price. We propose a markdown pricing model that explicitly incorporates returning customers. We propose a model for quantifying the value of the returning pricing model relative to a pricing model that does not distinguish between first-time and returning customers, and determine the value of returning pricing both exactly and through developing bounds. Based on real data from a fashion Internet retailer, we estimate the parameters of the returning demand model and determine the value of the returning pricing model. Lastly, we study the promotion optimization problem faced by grocery retailers, i.e. deciding which items to promote and at what price. Our formulation includes several business rules that arise in practice. We build demand models from data in order to capture the stockpiling behavior through dependence on past prices. This gives rise to a hard problem. For general additive and multiplicative demand structures, we propose efficient LP based methods, show theoretical performance guarantees and validate our results using real data.
