Project Details

This project involves a detailed study of a paper that utilizes a mathematical programming model to solve a problem. It consists of two main parts: understanding the paper (70%) and implementing the model (30%). The understanding part includes analyzing the problem approach, importance, modeling, and contribution of the paper. The implementation part requires coding the model, solving cases, and suggesting/implementing extensions.

  1. Project Details

  2. Project • Project is aboutdetailedstudy of a paperthatuses a mathematicalprogramming model in solving a problem. • Project will involvetwo main parts; understanding (70%) and implementation (30%) . • Understanding a paper that mustuse a linear program, a mixed integer program, or a binary program as a model. The understanding means; • What is the problem approached? • Why is this problem important and what has beendone on it prior to the paper? • How is the problem modelled? How is it solved? Anycomments on how the problem is modelledandsolved? • What is the contribution of the paperyoustudy? • What is done after this paper (the papers that reference tothe paper you study)? • How and in whichdirection do youthinkthatthepaper can be improved? Anysuggestionsforextention?

  3. Project • Implementation part should include coding the model in the problem, solving some cases, andsuggesting/implementingextensions. If you can, try to regenerate the results given in the problem. If you cannot, try to model and find/make up parameters of the model AS CLOSE AS possible to the actual model and solve cases. Make sure you do scenario analysis (sensitivity analysis) with the model and comment on the results.

  4. Project • The paper you will study • must be in or after 2007 • shouldbe in one of the following journals (Interfaces, European Journal of Operational Research, Computer and operations research, Computers and Industrial Engineering, Annals of Operations Research, IIE transactions, OMEGA, Management Science, Production and Operations Management, International Journalof Production research, EuropeanJournal of IndustrialEngineering, Transportationresearch) (Ifyouthinkthere is a very nice paperfrom a journal not included in thelistlet me know) • Better be on one of thefollowingtopics (not a must) • Integratedproductionscheduling/productionplanningandtransportationplanning. • Supplychaindesign • Integratedinventoryandtransportationmanagement • Logistic network design • Fleetsizing • Retailsectormanagement • Revenuemanagement (hotels, cruiselines, airlinesetc)

  5. Project • Project must be done as a group of two people unless you really really want to work alone. What will be graded is adherence to the expectations described, quality and elaboration inthe reports, and effort spent on the paper. • To be submitted; • Forward me thetwogroup members and two candidate papers you select for the Projectviaemail. I will recommend one of thepapers as your projectpaper. Submit the papers and the group member VIA email by September 27th • A printed progress, final reportand a presentationwill be therequirements of the Project.
