Hunt Transport

  6. Identification and Resolution of Materials Management Software Tracking Problemsand Inventory Reconciliation Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA) Researchers: Manuel Rossetti and Andres Angulo Objective:Recommend policies and procedures to ensure high inventory accuracy. Results: • Recommend process improvements for purchasing, receiving, issuing, and returns • Analyze inventory • reconciliation, error analysis, ABC analysis • Identify new cycle count procedures

  7. Methodology • Business process re-engineering • Document current inventory processes • Re-engineer inventory processes • Correct inventory balances • Analyze inventory integrity assurance procedures • Analyze management and organizational interactions

  8. Defense Distribution Center (DDC) Inventory Integrity Modeling and Benchmarking Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Researchers: Terry R. Collins, Manuel D. Rossetti Objective:Improve the overall inventory process for all DLA-DDC Depots.

  9. Project Phases PHASE I Analyze current methodologies and strategies for inventory integrity and accuracy currently in place at the DLA-DDC. PHASE II Conduct a benchmarking gap analysis between the DLA-DDC and industry to identify best practices for inventory control management systems.

  10. Dynamic Scheduling for Competing Multi-Stage Demands (Phase 2) Lucent Technologies Researchers: John English, Mike Cole, and Mike Liow Circuit Pack Flow:

  11. Research Summary • Problem • Develop schedules that “minimize” makespan • Size buffer to reduce stockouts and overtime • Solution Approach • Schedule: Excel-based emulator • Buffer: cost equations, expert rules

  12. Model Development of a Total Integrated Maintenance (TIM) System Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA) Researchers: Earnest W. Fant and Julie Watson Objective:Establish a model for the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) concepts, with focus on reliability and process integration. Targeted Benefits:  Reliability, Cost Savings & Labor Utilization  Response Time  Downtime

  13. Project Description • Profile current system, customers, processes and metrics • TIM model customization • Identify reengineering opportunities and process improvements • Pilot TIM implementation on a PBA production process • Full implementation plan development

  14. Design of a Performance Measurement System to Enhance Systems Level Logistics Management Defense Logistics Agency - Defense Distribution Center (DDC) Researchers: Terry Collins, Manuel Rossetti and Julie Watson Objectives: • Develop a core set of meaningful, balanced and robust logistics performance metrics • Identify information technology architecture/analysis tools Result: Enable continuous process improvement through flexible and targeted analysis of timely data.

  15. Metric Selection Issues • Consistent with Organization’s Strategy • Customer Satisfaction and Value • Measures Key Processes • Identification • Time-based Measurement • Accountability - Control • Balanced Approach

  16. Analysis of Intermodal Choice Combinations and Pre-positioning Strategies for Military Supplies and Materiel DLA/Defense Distribution Center Researchers: Manuel Rossetti, Terry Collins, Erhan Kutanoglu, Nancy Sloan, Yeu-San Tee and Mee-Ching Chow

  17. Problem and Solution Problem: Determine pre-positioning strategies for supplying Pacific Rim sites that can simultaneously meet desired service and cost levels. Solution: Augment previously developed models to include inventory analysis scenarios. Construct network and cost models based on: inventory optimization models multi-echelon inventory models k-shortest path network algorithms intermodal transportation cost models
