Ph.D. Research Projects
Here is
a list of the current Ph.D. Research projects underway in
Group 3:
| Inventory
management of components in assembly systems |
| Jeremie Gallien |
The goal of this
project is to develop new tools for analyzing the
inventory management of assembly systems with
long stochastic leadtimes and a large number of
components. The key starting point of this work
is to combine Extreme Value theory with Queueing
Networks theory. |

| Larry
Wein |
| Data
for Global Supply Chain Models |
| Martin Haugh |
The goals of the
project are to determine the sources of the data
required for global supply chain models. Most of
the sources and issues have been determined
though further work remains to be done in the
area of data standards and format. |

| Don
Rosenfield |
| Cost
Analysis and Modeling of Global Logistics and
Manufacturing System |
| Te-San Liao |
Analyzing cost
structure of global logistics system, developing
mathematical model for total logistics and
manufacturing cost, trading-off extra capacity
and flexibility to handle these uncertainties in
global environment and determining the best
operation strategy under different situations. |

| An
Optimization Model for Diffusion in Semiconductor
|
| Hemant Taneja |
to develop an
optimization model for diffusion processes in
semiconductor fabs. This model determines optimal
allocation of lots to maximize utlization of
diffusion furnaces based on priority queues and
processing times of the lots. |
| Analog
Devices |
| Steve
Graves |
| Multi-Model
Production Line Design |
| Brian Tomlin |
To develop
algorithms to aid in the design of multi-model
production lines, especially those in which there
is a significant cost to inter stage buffer
spaces. |
| GM |
| Steve
Graves |
| Strategic
Supply Chain Inventory Placement |
| Sean Willems |
The goal of the
project is to develop an optimization model that
determines where to place strategic safety stock
across a supply chain that is subject to demand
or forecast uncertainty. We are now in the
process of applying the model to other companies,
and we would be interested in hearing from anyone
who thinks they might want to become involved in
the project. |
