mechanical major had successfully provided me a solid foundation in technical areas and quantitative methods. I wish to further develop my skills and broaden my knowledge in Industrial Engineering, particularly in the advanced studies based on Operations Research & Information Systems. By applying cross-disciplinary approach in solving complex engineering problems with specific technical aspects and through analysis of managerial and economic factors, I will prepare myself to serve as an efficient industrial
After numerous Allied operations against Hitler that helped contribute to the end of the Third Reich, it ended up being his own greed and ambition that brought about his downfall which started 3 years earlier. Operation Barbarossa was launched in June, 22 1941. Germany was to invade Russia on a extraordinary 2,000 miles long front and take the massive landmass the Soviets had and give it to the German people. This was in total violation of the non-aggression treaty that the Soviets and Germans had
my interest in advanced research. I faced a temporary setback during the second year of my engineering, when I was unable to clear a practical test for the subject I.C. ENGINE. I considered this as an opportunity to study that subject once again, this time more thoroughly. I cleared that practical in my next attempt and in the next two years of engine... ... middle of paper ... ...dged entrepreneur and at the same time keep contributing to the field of operations research and industrial automation
scientific approach to managerial problems that involve quantitative factors ,management science is also called operations research (OR). A rational, structured approach to problem solving and often takes a quantitative view of decision making.

knowledge and in order to achieve this, I wish to pursue my Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering at the Arizona State University. I aspire to do my PhD after my Masters to fulfil my long term career goal of carrying out postdoctoral industrial research while becoming a tenured professor. Throughout, my inclination has always been towards academics and I consistently strive to achieve the best. I attended one of the best schools in my city, National Public School, Bangalore. Be it in school or my
I Wish to Pursue an MS Degree in Electrical Engineering During my senior year at Purdue University, I made a decision that has impacted the entire course of my education. While my classmates were making definite decisions about their career paths, I chose to implement a five-year plan of development and growth for myself. I designed this plan in order to examine various careers that I thought might interest me, as well as to expand upon my abilities at the time. As I was attaining a BS degree
subject, a question used to crop up and puzzle me. Is there a single course which is an amalgamation of both these areas? When I made a meticulous quest of such a course I came in acquaintance of the major, Industrial Engineering. On comprehensive research about the course I learnt about its manifold application. I acknowledged that it could be linked to everything, from determining queuing order of a ticket counter to pipe layout design of an oil Industry, Industrial Engineers have a vital role of
about food waste and hunger in Australia Australia is a great food-producing county and is truly lucky enough to feed 60 million people [1] which is almost twice as the current estimated population of about 36.24 million people.[2] However recent research shows that more than 4 million tonnes of food are disposed to landfill each year, of which food retailing accounts for 1.38 million tonnes and 2.6 million tonnes come from Australian household.[3] Every year Australian household throws out upto
In my capacity as a Maintenance Planning Engineer at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), I was primarily involved in tasks that required strategizing and organizing. Working for a multi-billion dollar enterprise, I saw the effects of operational efficiency on the Balance Sheet. This experience has driven me in my pursuit of delivering better performance with every attempt and has shaped my decision to pursue a career in Industrial Engineering (IE), a field that strives to increase productivity
problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical JSP. It takes shape when alternative production routing is allowed in the classical job-shop (Al-Hinai, 2011). FJSP is NP-hard due to; (a) assignment decisions of operations to a subset of machines and (b) Sequencing decisions of operations on each machine (Tay and Wibowo, 2004). Job shop scheduling, generally can be categorized into two main categories, static or deterministic (offline) scheduling and dynamic (online) scheduling. Previous approaches

Yao et al (2001) presented a model with two-layer hierarchical structure that optimizes the preventive maintenance scheduling for operations in semiconductor manufacturing industry. For the higher level, a planning model based on the Markov Decision Process framework captures both the cluster tools dynamic failure process and the production planning dynamics, is used to derive optimal

I used these three measures as they are key measures that Wall Street Investors look at when they examine a company’s performance. This research is limited to understanding how Linear Programming (i.e., Optimization) has affected the results of companies generally, if at all, and is based on my own view (in this case my hypothesis) that companies that do use LP actually derive some benefit
Babbage who contributed greatly to industrial engineering. Greatly inspired and motivated by the works of these mechanical engineers, I have decided to pursue active research in Industrial Engineering as a career objective. It was in my sixth semester of my under graduate university curriculum I took a course titled Operations research which took me close to the basic concepts of Industrial engineering. The topics learned in this course and its usage in day to day life made me to show further interest
Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated and mystified by the working of machines. Watching a simple arrangement of gears perform complex function was nothing less than an illusion. I was always fascinated by games like Lego and Machine Mechanics because they required my utmost concentration and attention. Dismantling and mantling my toys always gave me a sense of satisfaction. Overdriven by my fascination and curiosity I took science as a major in high school and finally mechanical engineering
planning. A proper planned site layout would definitely reduce the cost and time for construction. Before planning, there are three issues needed to be considered. The first one is identify the temporary facilities needed to support the overall site operation and all the temporary facilities are not a part of the permanent structure. The next issue is to find out the shape and the physical dimensions of those facilities. Finally, those facilities should be positioned within the site boundaries or any
Aggressive technology scaling has resulted in increasing process variations and statistical diversity in manufacturing. Process variations result in varying in path lengths, and thus a possibly different set of critical paths for different process corners, necessitating consideration of process variation in delay test methods. Also, process variation adds some of near-critical paths to the critical/longest paths set [4]. Therefore, to maintain the reliability of circuits, testing methodologies need
Defining the product strategy and pricing are the most critical activities for every company. These activities include the creation of such a product that meets the needs and desires of specific groups of customers. In order to satisfy customers' needs, it is crucial to identify optimal combination of marketing mix elements. In succeeding that, managers have to find the answer to the questions like: What product's characteristics are relevant for the customers? Is there a need for designing variety
operational research and logistics. I feel that Georgia Institute of Technology, as a known research university that encourages thinking big and fearless pursuit of grand challenges, is a place where I can gain the knowledge and expertise required to embark upon a career in research and teaching. I am confident that with my undergraduate degree in Mechanical engineering and Industrial related experience, I will be able to make a meaningful contribution towards the ongoing research. Post Master’s
