Reverse Logistics Network Design in a PBL Environment – MU10-BOEG

This project focuses on the component repair and distribution facility location problem in order to minimize cost and time performance with capability, capacity, and other constraints.

Sponsor:

Boeing

Research Team:

James S. Noble, Adam Rubemeyer, Gaohao Luo, Wooseung Jang

Universities Involved:

University of Missouri

Summary:

This project addresses the network design problem for maintenance parts within a Performance-based Logistics (PBL) environment. It evaluates both maintenance facility location & transportation cost versus service time trade-offs.

Key deliverables have included:

– a transportation cost estimation tool

– a reverse logistics network design tool

– an analysis of a Boeing platform with respect to: total transportation spend, repair reallocation, transportation mode
We are exploring component repair and distribution facility location in order to minimize cost and time performance with capability, capacity, and other constraints.
