Electricity sensors for resource efficiency and supply chain visibility in factories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Cost pressures on factories and the growing movement towards sustainability are key motivations behind Li & Fung's (LF) drive towards innovation. Supply chain digitalization through initiatives such as the Internet of ...
Improving customer experience by better predicting revised delivery dates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Historically, Dell has used a variety of methods to calculate a customer order's initial Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) and a subsequent Revised Delivery Date (RDD) as necessary. Multiple tools arose to meet diverse business ...
Optimization of downstream supply chain product flow based on an integrated cost-to-deliver perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
As Boston Scientific's supply chain becomes more versatile in mixing their supply networks across divisions, there is new opportunity to re-optimize product flow downstream of manufacturing based on unique product attributes ...
improving contact lens manufacturing through cost modeling and batch production scheduling optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
J&J Vision Care (JJVC) uses production scheduling methods that are not fully optimized, causing over-production of certain SKUs, and reducing capacity for other SKUs on backorder. This makes planning a weekly run-schedule ...
Predictive earthquake damage modeling for natural gas distribution infrastructure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates and maintains 48,000 miles of natural gas pipeline, serving over 4.3 million customer accounts. Along with water, electric power, and transportation services, these ...
Oral drug delivery as an alternative to needle-based injection for large molecules : an assessment of the field & evaluation of high-priority technologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Oral delivery of large molecules is widely considered the "holy grail" of drug delivery, but attempts to achieve this within the past century have been met with a lack of success, confounded by low bioavailability. Novel ...
Application of lean manufacturing technique for the design of the aircraft assembly line
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
The final assembly line for the Boeing Commercial Airplanes 717 Program is currently implementing "The 9 Tactics", a methodology based on the lean manufacturing principles to transform the current processes to continuous ...
Eastman Kodak equipment manufacturing--three scenarios
