Guest Lecture on An Overview of Optimization Techniques with a Case Study on Cellular Manufacturing Layout

The Mathematics Department of IMA Dehradun will be organizing an insightful guest lecture by Dr. Anuj Kumar Jhankal, Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics, on the topic “An Overview of Optimization Techniques with a Case Study on Cellular Manufacturing Layout.” The event aims to introduce students and faculty to the fundamentals and applications of optimization in industrial and manufacturing contexts.

Dr. Jhankal will begin the session by explaining the basic principles of optimization, emphasizing its significance in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing productivity across various sectors. He will then focus on cellular manufacturing layout, a strategy used to organize machines and workstations into cells to streamline production. Through a detailed case study, he will illustrate how mathematical modeling and optimization techniques can be applied to design effective layouts, minimize material handling, and maximize workflow efficiency.

The lecture is expected to be highly interactive, with participants encouraged to engage in discussions and raise queries about real-world applications of optimization. Dr. Jhankal will also share insights into current research trends and emerging techniques in this field, inspiring students to explore the intersection of mathematics and industrial engineering.

The session will conclude with a vote of thanks from the department, highlighting the importance of such knowledge-sharing initiatives in bridging academic learning with practical applications.
