Major Projects
My
education at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln's Industrial
Engineering Department has combined theoretical knowledge and
practical application. In particular, I am proud of four major
projects
The
Nebraska Department of Economic Development contracted with our
laboratory to provide a theoretical case for locating corporate
warehouses and destruction centers in the state. The project is
currently ongoing.
Lindsay
Manufacturing Company requested that we describe and prototype an
electronic, Internet-based system for interacting with suppliers and
other contractors. We generated a manuscript, which is available
online, and helped familiarize Lindsay's leadership with the latest
industrial-sourcing technologies.
I
was the lead researchers in a series of tests to demonstrate the
practicality of Radio Frequency Identification in supply chain
automation. By altering facilities layout, package orientation, and
other variables, I subjected this hot new technology to real-world
conditions. My results are available online.
I
combined my American graduate training with my Chinese work
experience to analyze SpeedWay Motor Company's offshore outsourcing
strategy. Applying Six Sigma, DMAIC, SIPOC, and other methods, I
successfully synthesized research on the corporation with data
supplied by the Mechanical Test Center of the University of Nebraska
