    Metaheuristic for Optimize the India Speed Post Facility Layout Design and Operational Performance Based Sorting Layout Selection Using DEA Method
    (Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2020) Vadivel, S.M.; Sequeira, A.H.; Jauhar, S.K.
    Adoption of feasible location science is gaining more interest in the field of Facility Layout Design (FLD) problems among working researchers group. Many methods such as MCDM, Heuristics and Intelligent approaches are available to solve the FLD problems. However in reality, finding the feasible facility layout selection is subject to management as well as performances oriented selections. Here in India, speed post mail processing service industry is facing tremendous challenges like tumbling demands due to low production concern, gloomy trend in technology advancement, and fierce private couriers’ competition. Hence, the highly competitive operational performance is of much concern and attention is focused towards the direction of facility location science. This paper aims to examine the challenges of sustainable operational performance oriented layout selection by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) related to intelligent based approach, for finding the optimal total facility layout cost for a hypothetical South Indian speed post service office layout. In this paper, we used multiple-criteria facility layout selection problem using mathematical model generated with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    A novel approach for operational performance based mail sorting facility layout selection using grey relational analysis: A case on India speed post service industry
    (Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2020) Vadivel, S.M.; Sequeira, A.H.
    Facility layout design (FLD) comes under multi-objective problem which has a major impact on service or manufacturing industries performance. Facility layout design purpose is to streamline the work flow smoothly and increasing the production by reducing the material handling time. An attempt has been done on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) in order to identify the feasible layout for the aids of operational performance. This FLD focuses on finding and eliminating the waste in the process flow and brings the comfortable workplace environment in order to attain the operational performance. The recommended approaches are demonstrated through practical applications in India speed post sorting facility layouts. Practical results are promising for incorporating optimal method for solving layout design problem. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

    The impact of customer-based brand equity on the operational performance of FMCG companies in India
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Mohan, B.C.; Sequeira, A.H.
    Measurement of brand equity has posed a big challenge to the companies in the Indian fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry. This paper investigates the impact of brand equity on the operational performance of businesses in the Indian FMCG industry. The research study adopts descriptive and exploratory approaches. The results indicate that there is correlation between brand equity and operational performance of business. The practical implications of the findings are that brand equity has to be effectively managed for improved operational performance of business. © 2016.

    Enhancement of mail operational performance of India post facility layout using AHP
    (Springer, 2020) Vadivel, V.; Sequeira, A.H.; Shetty, D.S.; Jauhar, S.K.
    The paper intends to evaluate the facility layout design (FLD) models using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. FLD focuses on streamlining the workflow and increasing productivity. This study examines how the model can help to find out the optimum layout to improve the production metrics through improving operations and the working environment attributes. In this study, seven layout designs have been discussed under critical parameters of optimal layouts such as cost (operation and flexibility) and working environment (safety, facilities, and control). This case study FLD conducted in national sorting hub, Mangalore, and Karnataka State in the southern part of India. Empirical results show that the AHP method is one of the promising ways to solve the FLD problem. © 2019, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.
