The partnership between academic institutions and industry represents the effective integration of private and public sectors to enhance the United States competitive edge in the global market place. CELDi provides integrated solutions to logistics problems, through research related to modeling, analysis and intelligent-systems technologies.

 

Various industry sponsored projects were successfully completed by CELDi at the Oklahoma State University.

 

 

Equipment Scheduling and Optimization

This project, will create an optimization model that will determine the optimal configuration and assignment of pumping equipment at the multiple Halliburton camps. It will be able to schedule equipment from multiple camps to known jobs so that pumping equipment utilization is maximized. We believe that this model will show Halliburton how to more efficiently utilize their pumping equipment.

Sponsor : Halliburton
Project Title: Equipment Scheduling and Optimization
PI/Co PI: Dr.Ricki G. Ingalls and Dr.Carlos Oliveria
Period : 1/1/2005 - 12/31/2005

Freight Movement Model Development for Oklahoma

The previous phases of the project focused on literature review, development of the regional mathematical model, verification of the regional model and software development. The focus now is on the completion of the software prototype and the development of the state freight movement model for Oklahoma. The proposed framework can be used to predict the freight flows in any state.

Sponsor : Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT)
Project Title: Freight Movement Model Development for Oklahoma
PI/Co PI: Ricki G. Ingalls, Ph.D., Manjunath Kamath, Ph.D., Samir A. Ahmed, Ph.D. (OSU); P. Simin Pulat, Ph.D., Guoqiang Shen, Ph.D. (OU)
Period : 3/17/2005 - 3/16/2006

Manufacturing and Distribution Strategies for Volatile and Cyclical Customer Demand

Researchers from Oklahoma State University partnered with a sponsor to investigate and develop business management models that will develop manufacturing and distribution strategies in markets with volatile and cyclical customer demand. Business cycles in the sponsor’s industry have traditionally been long, and this long boom-bust cycle has allowed companies in the industry to fluctuate the use of key resources, such as direct labor and equipment, without incurring burdensome costs. However, the new business cycle for the industry has been shortened to approximately 6-9 months. The new cycle creates several issues that the sponsor needs to address in order to create a competitive advantage in its markets.

Sponsor : Smith Tool
Project Title: Manufacturing and Distribution Strategies for Volatile and Cyclical Customer Demand
PI/Co PI: Dr. Ricki G. Ingalls
Period : September 2002 - June 2003

Porphyrin Mediated Destruction of Nitroenergetics

The goal of this work was to devise and understand a continuous-feed on-line solar-powered process for the destruction of energetic and hazardous materials. The final end-product was a mobile flatbed or flat-car based solar unit to process energetic materials on-site without that logistics processes that transport the chemicals to a facility. This represents a mobile processing plant whose operation is on-demand in terms of time and location. This eliminates the need for the reverse logistics process of transporting hazardous materials over commercial public rails and highways; elimination of the hazard of truck and rail logistics also eliminates the potential of environmental disasters associated with those logistics processes.

Sponsor : U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC)
Project Title: Porphyrin Mediated Destruction of Nitroenergetics
PI/Co PI: H.James Harmon, Department of Physics, Okahoma State University
Period : 12/18/2004 - 12/17/2007
