FedEx ALFA Centre invites PhD applications in the IEOR department for a project

1. Transport and Logistics of perishable goods in India
Perishable goods such as vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat  have different requirements with reference to storage, handling, and transportation. Time spent in these operations is also crucial. The proposal is to understand the logistics and transport of perishable goods in Mumbai  region. Navi Mumbai has fruit and vegetables wholesale market from where Mumbai region is served. We plan to count  field data and conduct interviews to understand the logistics. The modes  used to transport different perishable goods will be modelled using discrete choice modeling. The efficiency of the  existing operations will be analyzed. Optimal Fleet size, routing, and driver assignment will be analyzed for some firms. The general routes taken by vehicles and parking spaces used will be assessed. We hope to arrive at many policy suggestions to improve the  operation efficiency.
