Title: Integrated loading and routing optimization models for finished vehicle distribution

Advisor: Dr. Yanshuo Sun

Automobile distribution is an important part of the post-production process for automobile manufacturers. In this research, highway-based automobile shipping optimization studies are reviewed in detail. First, major decision-makers involved in automobile shipping are identified; service models are summarized; and the automobile shipping practice by transportation modes is discussed. After defining the automobile shipping optimization problem, highway-based automobile shipping optimization studies are categorized by the types of decisions involved in the optimization problem. 

Based on the literature review results, a few research gaps are identified and the following objectives are determined

• To propose an efficient algorithm to optimize loading and sequencing decisions 

• To introduce machine learning for quickly estimating the cost of loading for a given route 

• To propose an integrated optimization method for the integrated auto-carrier loading and routing operations. 

      Contribution:

• • A novel space-state network-based loading optimization approach is proposed. The approach can not only determine the minimum loading cost for a given route but also provides a detailed loading plan.

  • The research significantly contributes by examining the impact of different automobile loading policies on computational workload. It explores how varying reloading policies influence both the required computational effort and overall profitability. 

  • The introduction of an integrated model that simultaneously addresses both loading and routing decisions in the context of automobile shipping.

Title: Workplace Productivity: An exploratory study on public and private banks

Advisor: Dr. Mohammad Muhshin Aziz Khan

Summary: The main objective of this study is to find out different factors which are responsible for the change in workplace productivity. Though it is a little difficult work to measure the workplace productivity of the banking sector accurately because of its dependence on complicated factors, here the current study will try to figure out the dependence of workplace productivity. So, this study focuses on -

1. Identification of significant factors that affect workplace productivity.

2. Getting ideas about how those factors affect workplace productivity. 

3. Developing the hierarchy of the factors in accordance with their contributions to the workplace productivity of the banking sector in Bangladesh.
