No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Dynamic Supply Routing for a Make-To-Order Manufacturing Network
Joint work with J. Foreman (MIT), J. Alspaugh (Dell), R. Bhatnagar (NTU), C.
Teo (NTU), C. Dubois (ENSMP)
Abstract: Dell's supply chain for desktops involves Asian vendors shipping components by sea to several U.S. plants. While suppliers are responsible for shipping enough inventory, Dell can reroute and expedite their shipments while in transit to balance inventory across sites and dynamically track geographic demand patterns. We present the optimization models developed in collaboration with Dell to address this routing challenge, insights gained since their implementation last year including the results of an impact assessment study, and ongoing extensions.
