“…Such polices have given opportunities for generation of many associated businesses and employment (Zhang et al, 2018;He et al, 2009). Employee transportation services are one of them, which becomes a pre-requisite because of statuary regulations in terms of employee safety (Hulagu and Celikoglu, 2020;Hosokawa and Miyagi, 2019). To provide such facilities to employees, companies leased vehicle from private entities for a predefined period.…”

PurposeAs the world is becoming more volatile and uncertain, organizations face much complexity in their daily operations. Further, there is a much ambiguity in business operations to achieve the effective utilization of resources. The work optimizes a novel constraint programming model approach of the utilization of shuttle services vehicle while considering cost savings, employee wellbeing and other real an Information Technology enabled service (ITES) industry constraints.Design/methodology/approachThe present work considers a novel extension of the vehicle routing problem related to the shuttle service operation in an ITES industry in VUCA context. Additionally, the model considers the women safety aspects, which engages the company to provide a security guard for women employees in the night shift.FindingsNumerical experiments were conducted on real instances data of ITES industrial partner. The results show that the vehicle utilization increased from 75% up to 96% while ensuring in parallel the wellbeing of employees and women safety during the night shift. Finally, the proposed model is converted to a decision support application allowing ITES partner to plan employees shuttle service operations efficiently.Originality/valueStudy has evaluated the shuttle services optimization for ITES industry using data from industrial which makes it a unique contribution to literature in shuttle operations. Further, the study used constraint programming to evaluate the vehicle utilization and security allocation, thereby introducing new parameter on security allocation in open VRP problem.

“…An analysis of the literature shows that manufacturing companies tend to focus on introducing quality engineering activities [14][15][16] or implementing mixed quality and reliability engineering approaches [17][18][19] to improve efficiency. By limiting improvement activities to quality engineering activities and the combined approach of quality engineering and reliability, the achievable benefits of implementing a multidimensional approach are neglected.…”

Abstract. The use of multifaceted quality analyses contributes to increasing the efficiency of production processes and quality control as part of maintaining competitiveness. The aim of the study was to identify an integrally configured method for analysing the effectiveness of control points in the context of their ranking in terms of given variables. Verification of the model was carried out against the production process of an aluminium casting. The obtained ranking of the detection methods indicated the MT method as the most effective, which was influenced by the significant detection of critical non-conformities. The study observed little difference between the performance parameters of visual inspection and endoscopic testing, which is largely due to the detection of non-conformities of lower significance and the relatively low cost of testing. Further work will relate to the implementation of the model against other processes carried out in the company.
