DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SEMINAR:Title: "Optimization Based Operations Management Problems in the Steel Industry"Speaker: Lixin Tang, The Logistics Institute, Northeastern University, Shenyang, ChinaABSTRACT: The steel industry plays an important role in domestic economy. As a classical process industry, the output of iron & steel industry, China, has held at the first place in the world for continuous 12 years since 1996. The modeling and optimization of operations management problems is a kind of key problem in steel industry. Effective operations management in this industry can significantly improve the product quality, shorten production cycle, decrease work-in-process inventory level, cut down material and energy consumption and reduce production cost. The operations management problems in steel industry are characterized by the following features: high job waiting costs due to hot temperature of jobs, job grouping due to high operating cost of heavy equipment, the processing with real-time requirement for continuous production, logistics with network structure due to complex production technological processes. These features add extra difficulties to tackle operations management problems. In this talk we review the major operation management problems and methods in the steel industry we have been working on during the last ten years. Finally some international leading-edge research directions toward operations management research areas in the steel industry for further research are identified. MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2009, HED 116 (HEDCO CHEMICAL ENGINEERING BLDG), 1:30–2:30 PM
BIO: Lixin Tang received the B.Eng. degree in industrial automation, the M.Eng. degree in systems engineering and the Ph.D. degree in control theory and application from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 1988, 1991, 1996, respectively. Currently he is a chair professor of "the Cheung Kong Scholars Program of China", and the director of both the Liaoning Key Laboratory of Manufacturing System and Logistics, and the Logistics Institute at Northeastern University, China. His research interests include operations planning, production scheduling, logistics and supply chain management and combinational optimization. He has published a monograph and more than 60 papers in international journals such as Computers & Operations Research, Computers and Industrial Engineering, European Journal of Operational Research, IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, International Journal of Management Science, International Journal of Production Economics, International Journal of Production Research, International Journal of System Science, International Transactions in Operational Research, Journal of the Operational Research Society. He has received National Natural Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars of China, State Youth Science and Technology Award of China, Outstanding Young Faculty Award Program of the Ministry of Education and Fok Ying Tung Education-Foundation Reward.
