  • Assessing uncertainty and risk in an expeditionary military logistics network

    The Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation Applications Methodology Technology · 2019-07-10 · 10 citations

    article

    Uncertainty is rampant in military expeditionary operations spanning high-intensity combat to humanitarian operations. These missions require rapid planning and decision-support tools to address the logistical challenges involved in providing support in often austere environments. The US Army’s adoption of an enterprise resource planning system provides an opportunity to develop automated decision-support tools and other analytical models designed to take advantage of newly available logistical…

  • Logistics of carpet recycling in the U.S.: designing the collection network

    Journal of the Textile Institute · 2018-06-04 · 9 citations

    articleCorresponding

    Efficient collection of post-consumer carpet is an important part of the carpet recycling process that helps to reduce the cost of recycled materials as well as provide sufficient volumes of carpet for recycling facilities. This paper focuses on the design of a collection network for carpet in the U.S. The location set covering optimization model formulated in the paper allows locating the minimum number of collection centers throughout the U.S. to reach a specific level of population coverage a…

  • An indirect testing approach for characterizing pressure profiles of compression bandages and hosiery

    Journal of the Textile Institute · 2017-06-13 · 9 citations

    articleCorresponding

    As outlined in compression therapy literature, the performance of a compression textile can be characterized by its stiffness and interface pressure. In this study, an indirect approach for measuring pressure from a set of compression bandages and hosiery was developed, from which rigidity (EI) values were determined, and tension–elongation curves and pressure-elongation data were calculated. The calculated pressure values were compared against PicoPress sensor readings measured on 10 participan…

  • Inventory management research for the fashion industry

    International Journal of Inventory Research · 2016-01-01 · 9 citations

    articleSenior author

    Fashion products have a short-life-cycle with highly volatile demand uncertainty. This uncertainty leads to challenges in managing inventory, as matching supply and demand is always difficult in the fashion industry. In this paper, we review the recent literature on fashion industry inventory management. We classify the extant literature by four widely-used research methodologies, including analytical, empirical, case study and simulation approaches. We identify that inventory ownership, informa…
