Warehouses operate better when the forward picking area is sized appropriately. In this project we developed analytical models to estimate the best size of the forward picking area in a Medline warehouse.

This project studies and determines the capability and feasibility of a modular pallet system from project OU3-DAC2.

This project examines the inventory issues involved in determining stock positioning strategies in a multi-indenture system.

The objective of this project is to develop a Demand Categorization scheme , compare relevant demand forecasting techniques; the measures of performance being error, and study the effect of aggregation of demand history and the demand attributes

The goal of this project was to investigate the use of a mathematical modeling methodology for managing the dynamic maintenance planning and sortie scheduling issues of a process.

This project researches an optimal pipe routing path algorithm and develops an approach for segmenting operations into "suboperations" to improve optimization model tractability.

The main goal of this proposed research project is to develop more effective inventory control models for situations involving intermittent highly variable demand and to ensure that planned for target service levels are actually met during operational conditions when using existing inventory models.

Future logistics systems must be: This project develops an adaptive and flexible logistic system that is able to s upport joint fighting force across services and with cross-organizational and cross-cultural capability. This project also develops technologies and processes that advocate a more dynamic logistics support system
