[PISIS-L] Seminario Conjunto Viernes 18 de Octubre de 2013

by Jorge Christopher Garza Sepúlveda

El Programa de Posgrado en Ingeniería de Sistemas de la FIME-UANL tiene el gusto de invitarle al seminario conjunto con el Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey titulado: 'Inventory distribution models based on deprivation costs' impartido por el: Dr. José Holguín Veras (Ph.D., P.E.) Abstract: The need to explicitly consider the impacts of delivery actions on the population has been acknowledged recently by a number of researchers that have devised techniques that attempt to take into account the welfare of the affected individuals. For the most part, these methods propose proxy measures to approximate deprivation costs (penalty factors, equity constraints, etc.) and do not take into consideration the operational costs incurred in responding to the emergency. Rather than defining operational success in terms of logistic costs, or even the amount of cargoes delivered, the mathematical models that support humanitarian logistics should have as its primary objective the minimization of social (private plus external) costs. Doing so would provide decision makers a solid foundation to design and plan an effective and efficient use of resources. The presentation will show that traditional methods based on pre-defined levels of service in the form of equity constraints, and penalties for unmet demands are arbitrary in nature, lead to high social costs, and are likely to lead to either infeasible or suboptimal solutions. The presentation discusses practical implications of these models for practitioners, aiming at the identification of simple guidelines that proved robust across the different disaster scenarios tested for this research. The presentation ends with a novel inventory distribution model that overcomes the limitation of previous approaches and leads to new insights into how to maximize the effectiveness of the delivery of aid in the aftermath of large disasters. Bio: Dr. José Holguín-Veras, is the William H. Hart Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Director of the Center for Infrastructure, Transportation, and the Environment at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is the recipient of a number of national awards, including the Milton Pikarsky Memorial Award in 1996 and the National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award, for his contributions to freight transportation modeling and economics. His research interests are in the areas of: freight transportation modeling and economics, transportation planning, and humanitarian logistics. He is a member of numerous technical committees at the key professional organizations, and referee for the major professional journals. He is President of the Scientific Committee of the Pan-American Conference of Transportation and Traffic Engineering and Logistics, Elected Member of the Council for the Association for European Transport, and member of the Scientific Committee of the World Conference of Transport Research. He received his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in 1996. He is the recipient of the 2013 White House Champion of Change Award.

El Programa de Posgrado en Ingeniería de Sistemas de la FIME-UANL tiene el gusto de invitarle al Seminario: 'The lessons of large disasters for humanitarian logistics: the role of industrial engineers' impartido por el : Dr. José Holguín Veras (Ph.D., P.E.) Abstract: Extreme events pose serious logistical challenges to emergency and aid organizations active in preparation, response and recovery operations, as the disturbances they bring about turn normal conditions into chaos. This is particularly true in the case of catastrophic events. Under these conditions, delivering the critical supplies urgently required becomes an extremely difficult task because of the severe damages to the physical and virtual infrastructures and the very limited, or non-existent, transportation capacity. In this context, the recovery process is made more difficult by the prevailing lack of knowledge about the nature and challenges of post-disaster humanitarian logistics. This presentation is based on the quick response fieldwork conducted by the author and his colleagues on the largest disasters of recent times, which include, among others, the 2011 Tohoku disasters in Japan, the 2010 Port-au-Prince earthquake, and the 2005 Hurricane Katrina. The presentation discusses the important lessons that ought to be learned from these disasters, and the role of industrial engineers and the civic society.
