OPERATIONS STRATEGY & OPTIMIZATION MGMT - Live Consulting Projects, Business Cases Authored & Working Paper

Live Consulting Project for a well-known Logistics & Transportation Company pertaining to their Workshop Operations in Jaipur
including Job Scheduling, Labour / Manpower Optimization Management and Inventory Management. [2013-2014]

Authored Business Cases on Operations Management based on the consulting work

A) Ivey Publishing [2014] Case # 9B14D009: K M Trans Logistics: Workshop Operations (Richard Ivey School of Business, UWO)

KM Trans Logistics functions as a logistics provider for flatbed steel and finished automobiles (primarily four-wheeler passenger cars
and light to medium cargo vehicles). The co-executive directors are grappling with large delays with the workshop repairs that are
hurting the timely truck availability and causing immense customer dissatisfaction (with about 14 per cent of the trucks taking more
than one day to complete their repair). They believe that staffing the workshop with the right number of labourers may address the
issue of long repair delays - but is the issue just with the labour availability? Is the number of bays available for repair sufficient for
the volume of truck repairs? What is causing the trucks to pile up at the workshop?
The aim of the case is to enable the reader to acquire first-hand knowledge of logistics management in a real life transportation
company facing issues, delays and inefficiency in repair and maintenance operations due to labour inefficiency and sub-optimal
resource utilization. The case was solved using data analysis using statistical and stochastic modelling and also a simulation of realworld truck arrivals and repair service systems in the workshop using Arena Simulation to validate the analytical model.
B) IIM Ahmedabad [2014] Case # IIMA/PROD0298: Spare Parts Procurement Planning at KM Trans Logistics.
The transportation companys management was facing regular problems with respect to disorganised inventory ordering and
procurement methods. The case was solved using (S, T) and (Q, R) models for inventory management and a software tool was
developed. The company utilized the tool to integrate it with an MIS system that would generate invoices at regular time periods as
directed by the software tool to streamline and regularize inventory procurement policy.

Working Paper on "Stochastic Modelling of Restaurant Operations" (2013).

Low customer wait times at restaurants can improve both customer walk-ins and satisfaction levels. To manage customer wait times,
the operators need a thorough understanding of how restaurant design parameters such as the layout, the number of tables, the
number of chefs and other critical kitchen resources affect customer throughput times. In this paper, we present a nested two-level
semi-open queuing network model for evaluating the throughput time performance of a dine-in restaurant. We also develop a novel
two-phase solution approach to obtain the steady state network performance measures.
Result: The model can be used by restaurant managements to generate scenarios and arrive at the most optimum configuration. The
number of tables, chefs and burners can be varied and the model be applied to find the most optimum utilization rates of each
resource that will guarantee maximum revenue, maximum customer satisfaction while at the same time preventing burn-out of the
company's human resources, namely chefs.
