Selected Highlights from Research Findings
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering has research focus areas in resource optimisation, industry and functional area application, business engineering and enterprise architecture. Ms Jacomine Grobler, an MEng student, made an exceptional contribution with her work on the metaheuristics for the multi-objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) with sequence dependent setup times, auxiliary resources and machine down time, which was done in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science, for which she received the prestigious S2A3 medal. Cooperation with the University of Delhi continued with a contribution on the use of stochastic differential equation-based flexible software for a reliability growth model. A contribution to optimising the treatment of HIV was made with the development of a stochastic model of the dynamics of HIV under a combination of therapeutic interventions. Evaluating the risk in continuous review inventory systems and three unit reliability systems with preparation time were also major contributions.
