Heuristic Algorithms for Solving the Interval Flow Transshipment Network
Robert H. Jones
Advisor: Dr. Richard Barr
This dissertation addresses the inclusion of semi-continuous variables into network formulations for minimum cost-flow transshipment problems with and without a fixed-charge. These models, termed interval-flow networks, are formulated mathematically and solution methods are proposed and tested computationally. Results are compared to state-of-the-art commercially available software. A solution for a real world scheduling problem and a well know NP-hard problem are included.
Yu Awarded Research Grant on Engineering Supply Chain Systems
January 20, 2009
EMIS faculty member Dr. Junfang Yu recently received the following $85,000 research grant from Sandia National Laboratories:
Collaborative Environment Implementation, Data Management and Security in Supply Chain System
This funded research project will help Sandia to design and implement a secure and effective Electronic Component Information System (ECIS) which is being used by design and development engineers, and other personnel along their supply chain in a collaborative environment. The scope of the work includes the design and implementation of the control mechanism and management schema for the engineering release of various designs and subsystems to be used in a complex weapon system. The project will also help Sandia to design and implement their ECIS so it could be used in a secure and collaborative way.
