    We study a model that optimizes the response to a mass rescue event in Arctic Alaska. The model contains dynamic logistics decisions for a large-scale maritime evacuation with the objectives of minimizing the impact of the event on the evacuees and the average evacuation time. Our proposed optimization model considers two interacting networks – the … Read more

    We consider optimization problems related to the scheduling of multi-echelon assembly supply chain (MEASC) networks that have applications in the recovery from large-scale disruptive events. Each manufacturer within this network assembles a component from a series of sub-components received from other manufacturers. We develop scheduling decision rules that are applied locally at each manufacturer and … Read more
