Research Activities Title Problem Description/Features Modeling and Solution Approach Status Multi-objective approach to resolve sustainable ship routing and scheduling problem with draft restrictions Maritime transportation ship-routing, time window, discrete planning horizon, loading/unloading operation, slow steaming policy, carbon emission and vessel’s draft restriction to maintain safety at a port A mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) is employed to solve the multi- objective mathematical formulation. IEEE Transaction on Engg. Management Multi Period Green Reverse Logistics Network Design with Vehicle Routing A bottle remanufacturing A profit maximization modeling framework for green reverse logistics with vehicle routing in dynamic setting A mixed-integer linear programming formulation for proposed model Solved using CPLEX and relevant managerial insights Submitted to International Journal of Production Economics Truck packing cost minimisation along with carbon emission reduction A cost minimization problem for FMCG’s for transportation of goods Weight, volume, demand of each products and hiring costs, carbon emissions, weight and volume constraints of the freight carriers available. Multi-Objective Programming (MOP) model with cost and carbon emission reduction A two stage approach of NSGA-II + Co-Kriging Work-In-Progress

The DSS Sustainable Omni Channel Delivery Network Know customers Know demand Know real time sales The number location Size of stores Delivery slots for the customers Fleet size and type Delivery Type: Attended Home/Pick-up Replenishment deliveries to the store Analytics Vehicle Routing P-median Revenue Management
Omni Channel Retail Analytics How a retailer can use its wealth of data to forecast demand, optimize vehicle routing problem, delivery and warehousing decisions and also exploit to identify root cause of problems Raw Data from ERP Customer Data hierarchy at different SKU level nodes/level(SKU) Relevant business questions that can be answered? How good is existing demand forecast at each level. Whether some level of aggregation or disaggregation can be achieved at any level? Capturing bullwhip effect by analyzing demand vs return data? Optimal retail store density and warehouse density? Optimal Vehicle routing? Options for investing in green supply chain technology to reduce carbon footprint?
