IEOR Students and Faculty participated in the International Conference on Operations Research and Decision Sciences 2019 held at IIM Visakhapatnam from 28 Dec - 30 Dec, 2019.
Ms. Tejas Ghorpade presented her paper on, "Rolling Horizon Models for Inter-Depot Empty Container Repositioning" at the Winter Simulation Conference, 2019 held in National Harbor, Maryland from 8th to 11th December 2019. This is joint work with Prof. Narayan Rangaraj. This work defines the Inter-depot Empty Container Repositioning Problem and proposes a heuristic real-time decision model to address it. The heuristic is based on Node-wise Decomposition of a Approximate Dynamic Programming based Value Approximation Model.
IEOR students and faculty participated in the annual conference of the Society of Operations Management 2019 at IIT Kanpur from 20-21 December, 2019.
