09H00 (Room 2.14) - Project Development,
Amaia Lusa (UPC-ES)

A project can be defined as a set of activities. Each activity needs a certain amount of time (that can be variable or even stochastic) and requires different type and quantity of resources (tools, personnel, money, etc.).

Also, usually there are additional constraints that affect the scheduling of the activities, as precedence constraints (for example, an activity cannot start until another one has finished), time constraints (do not start or finish before or later than a certain date) and simultaneously constraints (activities that cannot be done at the same time).

After an introduction, in this session different tools for project scheduling will be introduced: graph representation of time and precedence constraints; Gantt chart and load curves; and heuristic, metaheuristics and exact algorithms for project scheduling considering different evaluation criteria.

 

Amaia Lusa is teaching (Profesora Titular de Universidad) in the College of Industrial

Engineering of the Polytechnics University of Cataluna (Barcelona, Spain), and she has expertise in

Industrial Management, Industrial Engineering, Logistics, and Simulation and Optimization. She is

author of various publications in journal papers and conference proceedings, and she is

coordinating research projects.

 

With significance to the Odss4SC programme, among others, it can be focused:

 Principal investigator of the project "Planificación agregada integrada de la empresa (PAGINEM)" (DPI2007-61588), funded by MCy (01/10/2007- 30/09/2010)

 Coordination of PhD., MSc., and Post-Graduate programmes in cooperation with other HEI.

14H00 (Lab 1.08) - Advanced session, Robust Optimization,
SC Cases, João Miranda (ESTG/IPP)

 

Two Optimization sessions are aiming at theoretical subjects and practical issues, either from an introductory or advanced approach. These sessions are conjugating Optimization basics with the implementation of useful tools and SC models.

The Advanced session is directed to Stochastic Programming and Robust Optimization, and scheduling and planning applications are treated.

Some working cases are described, namely, introducing the costing appreciation in SC and the construction of purchase rules.
