Research

The Red River Army Depot has identified their Fabrication Division as a candidate for logistics improvement and re-engineering activities that can improve work planning, material supply, and production capabilities.

The main goal of this research is to model the effect of lead-time variability on the DLA’s logistics system and to develop methods to incorporate this information into inventory policy setting and planning.

Augmented reality head-worn displays (HWDs) – or simply “smart glasses” – are an emerging technology that can project diverse forms of information within a user’s field of view.

The objective of this project is to Implement a global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system from a home grown distribution system

The purpose of the project is to create a production cycle schedule,and improve product quality and supply chain reliability by establishing control over process times for each stage of the production cycle.

This project will investigate, test and analyze the performance characteristics of a product process. Primarily, this research project develops a detailed cost model for present and future settings.

This project intriduces manufacturing processes to High School students

This project supports a dynamic, statistical, and data-driven approach in developing efficient systems to support economic growth of a process taking in account key

The objective of this project was to analyze the successes and failures of online marketplaces.

Realistic large-scale multi-echelon supply chain networks consist of thousands of stock keep units (SKUs), which make the analysis by mathematical models problematic. The purpose of this project is to design a cloud computing architecture that facilitates the computational performance of large-scale multi-echelon supply chain network simulations.

This project presents an object-oriented software framework for intermittent demand forecasting and inventory analysis.

The purpose of this project was to change the process structure and culture of a company with world-class supply management concepts to enable it to improve capability and reliability.

The objective of this project is to developed a segmentation methodology for reducing the computational time required for setting the inventory control polices in a large scale multi echelon inventory system.

This projects Investigates the impact of vendor agreements on the current inventory system with the goal of maintaining or improving the service capability of replenishment while reducing inventory

The objective of this project us to take advantage of the geographical potential of a region for establishing and developing a viable local, regional, and international logistic node.

This project examines the effect of record inaccuracies within the retail supply chain and develops recommendations for improving inventory record accuracy within retail operations.

Sponsor: Federal Transit Authority Research Team: Sridhar Radhakrishnan Universities Involved: University of Oklahoma Start Date: 08/15/06 End Date: 08/14/07 Summary: The Tulsa Transit Authority (TTA) provides curb-to-curb para transit service to low-income individuals with disabilities. Approximately, 17,000 pick-up and drop-off requests are served every month within the Tulsa metropolitan area […]

This project performs a performanace and uptime analysis for prodction lines at a production plant

The best warehouse design is dependent on how operations are organized, the shape of the facility, and the dock-door configuration, among other factors. We developed a decision-support tool to aid in determining the best warehouse design for a set of given data.

Many organizations use U-shaped picking modules to increase the productivity of warehouse workers. Analytical models can be useful in evaluating such picking modules (for example, is the picking module performing well or not). This project developed statistical models to compare picking modules with each other as well as general models to establish a productivity goal for Medline's operations.

This project evaluates vertical chain if production and inventory stocking policy, and makes recommendations on how to improve organization performance

The goal of this project is to devise and understand a continuous-feed on-line solar-powered process for the destruction of energetic and hazardous materials.

This projects Investigates the impact of vendor agreements on the current inventory system with the goal of maintaining or improving the service capability of replenishment while reducing inventory

This project analyzes inventory decision on warehouse operational costs.
