Computation small theses - various topics listed in the description
Reference persons ARIANNA ALFIERI, ERICA PASTORE
External reference persons Castiglione Claudio
Description The computation small theses currently available are the following:
1. Addressing the impact of variability in manufacturing systems
2. Comparing centralized and localized AM supply chains
3. The impact of limited transportation resources in job shop scheduling problems
4. Addressing idle and waiting time in flow shop problems: testing various objective functions
5. The impact of the inventory policy parameters in Additive Manufacturing production-inventory systems
Developing a computation small thesis usually consists of the following steps:
- Literature review
- Simulator development and validation
- Simulation planning (identification of transient period, simulation length, number of replications)
- Design of experiment
- Numerical experiments and analysis of results (statistical tests, managerial insights).
Currently, no real case studies are available, thus information, data and scenarios must be based on what is available in the scientific literature.
The required skills for this type of thesis are mainly related to the Discrete Event Simulation (simulation programming language, input and output analysis). Basic knowledge of computer programming could be necessary. For this type of thesis, if a simulation software is needed, the Rockwell Arena software is available at LEP laboratory. Otherwise, any general-purpose programming language is accepted.
The effort to make this type of thesis is medium, hence usually around 3 full months are required to complete the thesis.
The theses are tutored by the research group of prof. Alfieri. For more details, please contact professors Pastore and Castiglione at the email addresses erica.pastore@polito.it and claudio.castiglione@polito.it
Interested students MUST NOT submit their application through the portal but MUST send an email to the addresses listed above.
