  • Integrated supply chain models and analysis 
    Zhi, Jianing (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)
    This dissertation reports on three integrated supply chain problems that incorporate several key components of modern supply chains, including location, transportation, inventory, and customer selection. The first part of ...
  • Medical decision making in patients with chronic diseases 
    Mirghorbani, Seyedeh Saeideh (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)
    Inefficient resource allocation and planning, expensive treatment costs, and low patient adherence to medication plans lead to undesired health outcomes in patients with chronic diseases. Operation research and stochastic ...
  • Models for patient-centered appointment scheduling in physician clinics 
    Dogru, Ali Kemal (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)
    Naive clinical capacity planning, myopic appointment scheduling techniques, and unavoidable appointment interruptions lead to excessive patient waiting time, physician idle time and overtime, which result in inefficient ...
  • Network design models for intermodal logistics 
    Ishfaq, Rafay (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)
    This research is motivated by the extraordinary increase in the use of intermodal shipments in recent years for both domestic and global movement of freight. Three mathematical models, which explore the dynamics of intermodal ...
  • New models for homeland security and public safety 
    Fontem, Belleh (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)
    The standard approach to mathematical optimization is to construct models which assume 1) perfect knowledge of the algebraic form of the optimizable function, and 2) that the problem parameters are not subject to external ...
  • New models for operations planning under risk and uncertainty 
    Freeman, Nickolas Kirk (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)
    The presence of uncertainty complicates planning decisions in all industries and sectors. In an operations context, failure to acknowledge and incorporate the unknowns in the decision-making process may lead to undesirable ...
  • On the use of transformations for modeling multidimensional heterogeneous data 
    Sarkar, Shuchismita (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)
    The objective of cluster analysis is to find distinct groups of similar observations. There are many algorithms in literature that can perform this task and among them model based clustering is one of the most flexible ...
  • Vehicle routing models in public safety and health care 
    Li, Rong (University of Alabama Libraries, 2012)
    Routing related costs constitute a significant portion of the overall logistics costs in most service industries. Private companies are continuously striving to reduce their vehicle routing costs to maintain a better ...
  • Workforce supply and facility location 
    Palmer, Nathan Curtis (University of Alabama Libraries, 2009)
    It is important for every company to minimize its costs. This includes labor costs. We develop mathematical models that allow a company to minimize its labor costs by deciding from where to hire workers and the amount that ...
