İKThe founder of KMI, Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Kavrakoglu, completed his doctorate at University of London after undergraduate studies Robert College in Istanbul. He returned to his alma mater as a professor. In the ensuing years, he served as Chairman of the Department of Industrial Engineering, Dean of the School of Engineering and Provost of Boğaziçi University.

Dr. Kavrakoglu twice accepted academic posts abroad. In 1973 and 1974 he was a visiting professor at Stanford University where he both taught in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and conducted research in systems modeling. In 1981, he returned to the United States as a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley. With a dual appointment, he taught in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operational Research and the department of Mechanical Engineering. He also had the opportunity to expand his research in economic policy with use of the supercomputer at Berkeley Laboratories.

Dr. Kavrakoglu's research has covered mechanical engineering (thermodynamics, acoustics and fluid mechanics); operations research (mathematical modeling, decision support systems); economics (macroeconomic simulation, econometrics) and business (strategy and finance.) He is the author of 24 books and more than 130 papers, including lead articles and invited papers in the European Journal of Operations Research, Mathematical Modeling, Omega, Automatica, Interfaces and Operations Research. The most recent, "Knowledge Leveraging - Post Modern O.R.," appeared in the April 2004 issue of OR/MS Today.

He has been the initiator and director of numerous major projects including development of Turkey's first National Energy Plan, the Mass Housing Project (which led to a value-added of $45 billion while creating 1.8 million units of housing and doubling Turkey's GNP growth rate over eight years) and the Turkish Quality Movement. The Mass Housing Project won a Franz Edelman Prize by the U.S. Institute of Management Sciences in 1988. In 1990, Kavrakoglu founded the Turkish Society for Quality and has been involved in the TQM transformation of more than 50 corporations.

In recent years, he has initiated a strategy for ICT-based national development which has been officially embraced by the Turkish Government. The sister company, Kavrakoğlu Consulting has conducted more than 200 consulting projects over the past two decades, Dr. Kavrakoğlu is a pilot and a competitive yachtsman.

Innovations and Contributions

Economics

  • Interactive simulation model of the economy
 Developed a new approach to macro-economic policy design, by combining the simultaneous solution of econometric equations of the economy with an interactive simulation technique, using a graphical interface.

  • Artificial intelligence in economic planning
Designed a new mathematical model for planning, by integrating a dynamic forecasting technique using artificial intelligence, with a linear programming resource optimization model.

  • Energy planning model for Turkey
Directed the first major planning model for Turkey, covering all energy resources, energy facilities, and consuming sectors, for a long range planning period.

  • The mass housing project
Upon request by the Turkish Government, designed and directed a project to revive the Turkish economy, which created 45 billion USD value-added in a period of eight years.

  • The world petroleum market
Created a game-theoretic mathematical model using time-lagged supply and demand elasticities and net present value analysis to determine equilibrium price levels of the world petroleum market.

Management Concepts

  • 360°Company check-up
Developed methodology to rapidly diagnose major problems a corporation faces, using a technique based on T-Model analysis.

  • swOt Analysis
Modified and extended the conventional SWOT Analysis by identifying major opportunities and focusing the whole company to exploit those.

  • PPF (Past Present Future) information system
Using techniques from Operations Research developed an information system to predict future performance of corporations.

  • Synergic management
By identifying which set of projects- when implemented simultaneously- lead to synergies in making a significant jump in company performance, developed a method for effective management.

  • Ignorance premium                    
Created the concept, based on the excess amount the buyer of a new technology pays, in proportion to the relative ignorance with regard to the technology in question.

  • Adverse strategies
Developed a concept of competitiveness based on strategies that such contrary to industry practices.

  • The daisy petal model
Designed a methodology for successful outsourcing of business processes.

  • Negative synergy analysis
Developed a theory to explain inertia and sluggishness in large corporations.


Operations Research

  • Price elasticity in linear programming
Developed mathematical model to solve supply-demand equilibrium   problems by integrating price elasticity.

  • Mixed-integer dynamic optimization model
Created a large scale (5000 variables) model for time-dependent non-linear optimization.

  • Multi-objective optimal decisions
Created an efficient algorithm to calculate the Pareto-optimal solution space for multi-objective decisions.

  • Artificial intelligence in modeling
By combining an optimization model with the simulated decision conditions, developed an intelligent model to solve complex dynamic problems.

  • Game theory  
Developed a game-theoretic model of the world oil market to forecast   stable oil price levels.

  • Knowledge leveraging
Defined a new concept for Post-Modern Operations Research, using "Knowledge Leveraging" as its basis, a four stage process to create new designs.

Engineering & Physics

  • Dipole noise in turbulence
Developed theory of dipole noise in turbulent wakes of aerofoils.

  • Concept of "Energy utilization efficiency"
By combining the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics, created a new concept to define the ultimate potential of energy conversions.

  • World's smallest microphone
To measure pressure fluctuations in turbulence, designed and built a microphone, measuring 1.5 mm by 1.0 mm.

  • Wave propagation
At the Stanford Aero-acoustic lab. which he set up, made precise measurement of wave propagation in cylinders with fluid flow.

  • Turbine optimization
Created a new design, depending on variable cross-sectional turbine stages.
