Overview of Our Research
• Modeling and analysis of discrete part manufacturing systems.
Both simulation models & analytic models.
Models used to improve the performance of the manufacturing systems.
Reduce waste from excessive Work-In-Progress (WIP).
Identification and elimination of bottlenecks

Collaboration
• We collaborate with Oakland University’s Pawley Institute for lean manufacturing.
Founded by Dennis Pawley, former Executive Vice President of Manf., DCX
Kevin Yamada, Director of the Institute
The institute’s focus is on education and research concerning lean manufacturing.
