This research advocates the use of discrete-event simulation as a proactive tool in assessing the effect of product variety on production performance

This project develops a methodology that determines the best mode of operation for a distribution center.

This project adresses issues concerning warehouse client space allocation

This project's objective is to investigate and develop improved inventory approaches for a complex, multi-stage, in sourced and outsourced production distribution environment. This is segmented in many ways depending on time available, data available, and resources available.

This project respnds to volatile demand for products, the need for innovative products and exceptional customer service, and the transformation of supply chain

Development of tools and algorithms to automate current production planning approaches at BioMarin, and to optimize the parameters of those approaches.

The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive selective maintenance model that considers multiple systems and allows for the planning horizon to expand and to incorporate important concepts such as component aging, imperfect maintenance, cannibalization and workforce shaping into the new selective maintenance models

This project integrates a three-dimensional bin packing problem and a mode selection problem in the international consolidation context. The objective is to minimize the total costs involved in the global supply chain, including ocean container costs, handling costs, Truckload (TL) and Less-than-truck (LTL) costs.

Use of RFID systems to keep track of machinery and tool transactions more efficiently.

This project researches and incorporates lean concepts in the current maintenance practices of a production line.

This study focuses on the use of mathematics to model repairable equipment and the use selective maintenance strategies for a serial production line. Selective maintenance strategies include policies for identifying and prioritizing corrective and preventive maintenance actions when the resources available for performing maintenance are limited.

The objective was to investigate implementation of RFID technology for tracking.

The objective of this project is to develop multi-state selective maintenance models that incorporate multi-state component status and multiple measures of system performance

This project evaluates the integration of automatic data systems in a process.

This project uses statistical analysis to relate personnel experience and a process.

The objective of this project is to develop a methodology based on mathematical modeling that can be used to synthesize the prognostic and diagnostic information and provide a recommended course of action

This project has of objective of addressing problems in maintenance planning, product downtime, and outdated stockage policy.

The objective of this project is to develop a methodology based on mathematical modeling for analyzing prognostic and diagnostic capabilities.

This project develops simulation modeling methodologies that will assist logistics managers in analyzing the effects of different resource allocation policies and identify potential risks in logistics plans.

This project addresses the issues of rapid technological advancement and information technology (IT) services

This project analyzes ways to minimize issues regarding decision making within a multi-cultural group and creates a culture-bases group decision behavior model to support group decision maiking.
