Optimal Production & Operations Planning and Systems Design for Advanced Manufacturing and Healthcare Sectors

我的研究方向是生产经营管理。在这项申请和提议的核心，我的目标是既有较高级别的生产计划功能，也有较低级别的生产计划功能，以分别支持总体计划和运营计划活动，以及设施和流程计划、供应链管理和运输的其他支持功能，最后是跨境交通问题。特别是，我正在处理生产批量、生产和服务-调度、布局、装配线平衡以及设施选址和分配的问题。我和我的研究团队正在测试新的假设，借鉴其他研究领域的方法并将其应用于我的研究，并证明猜想。我们正在为制造业和医疗保健部门开发新的数学模型和解决方法，同时考虑到经济和质量方面的因素。这些研究活动将对地方经济和国家经济产生影响。我的研究实验室正在与汽车、农业和医疗部门合作。

My research program is focused on production and operations management. At the heart of this application and proposal, I am aiming at both higher- and lower-level production planning functions to support aggregate- and operational planning activities respectively as well as other support functions for facilities and process planning, supply chain management and transportation, and finally the cross-border traffic problem. In particular, I am tackling problems of production lot-sizing, production- and services-scheduling, layout, assembly line balancing, and facilities location and allocation. My research team and I are testing novel hypotheses, borrowing methods from other fields of research and applying them in mine, and proving conjectures. We are developing new mathematical models and solution methods for both the manufacturing- and healthcare-sectors taking into consideration economic and quality aspects. These research initiatives will have impact on both the local- and national-economies. My research lab is collaborating with the auto-, farming-, and medical-sectors.
