OPERATIONS RESEARCH

PLANNED SHORTAGE
SERVICE INDUSTRY :Welcome group of Hotels plans to open a new 5-Star hotel in Calangute, Goa by the year 2012. According to its marketing division the expected demand for 5-Star accommodation in Goa will be 15,00,000 people per year. Considering their current market share of 12% they plan to set up an optimally sized hotel. Demand peaks approximately 750 per day during October, November and December. Calculate the size of the hotel to be constructed. Overhead costs of maintaining the facility are 1,00,00,000 per year. Welcome group also believes that it can persuade the customers it might have to turn away during the peak season, to return when demand is low, through promotional offers, discounts and attractive packages. The average cost of persuading a customer to come back later is 2000 per customer. Cost of paper work required for ramping up capacity is 1,00,000.

PLANNED SHORTAGE
MANUFACTURING :Playhouse World is distributor for a Victorian-style playhouse manufactured in Thailand. If the firm is out of stock of this playhouse, it offers customers a discount of $50 for each week they must wait for delivery. The administrative cost of processing a backorder is estimated to be $10. The playhouses cost the firm $3500 each and sell for $6000 each. Demand averages two units per month. Due to the fairly high cost of preparing customs documents, the cost of placing an order is estimated to be $1500 and an order takes approximately one month to arrive. Playhouse World estimates that the annual holding cost for the Victorian style playhouse is $450. The company wishes to determine how many Victorian playhouses it should order.

DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING

The Heinz’s warehouse located in Bhiwandi, Mumbai needs to dispatch the FG to its dealers in Navi-Mumbai by ACE trucks holding 750kg in a single trip.
Item_Code Kg/pack Value (Rs.) X1 200.0 810 X2 250.0 1000 X3 50.0 350 X4 150.0 440 X5 200.0 400 X6 100.0 165 X7 50.0 300 X8 100.0 750 X9 200.0 925 X10 150.0 500

Find the optimal SKU assortment that should be transported in a single trip to maximize the value carried in a trip.

DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING

The case of Schneider National which is the largest fleet operator in US-Canada-Mexico. It has 15000 drivers and 40000 truck loads. At any point in time, there will be a set of drivers available to be dispatched and a set of loads that need to be moved. At a point in time we will assign a driver to at most one load. This can easily be modelled as an assignment problem, where the cost of assigning a driver to a load includes both the cost of moving empty to pick up the load, plus the net revenue from moving the load. But, the planning of such a large fleet is done using simulation through dynamic programming approach.
