Supply chain Network Simulator Using Cloud Computing – CDP10-SCNS

The goal of this CELDi Center Designated Project is to enhance previously developed multi-echelon supply chain simulation software so that it can be used by CELDi organizations through a SaaS architecture that leverages the resources available within cloud computing (CC) At the end of this project, CELDi member organizations will have available to them a SaaS/Cloud computing application capable of evaluating the performance of multi-echelon supply networks through simulation. This software architecture will facilitate software benefits based on a usage model and develop expertise within the center for this new computing architecture.

Identifying Materials Management Improvements for Aircraft Logistics Centers – CL09-LOCK

Routine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of aircraft includes mostly standard work, but often there are "Over and Above" work requests for unanticipated repairs • These requests require a certain level of on-hand inventory in order to continue working on aircraft and minimize delays • Each piece of inventory requires an inventory cost investment Project objectives are to improve processes managing materials by • Reducing total inventory investment without increasing stockout risk • Increasing the visibility of supplier-related data (e.g. lead time) to reduce the need for additional buffer inventory • Reclassifying work requests to encourage holding predictable inventory requirements
