While suppliers are responsible for shipping enough inventory, Dell can reroute and expedite their shipments while in transit to balance inventory across sites and dynamically track geographic demand patterns. We present the optimization models developed in collaboration with Dell to address this routing challenge, insights gained since their implementation last year including the results of an impact assessment study, and ongoing extensions.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBio\u003C\/em\u003E: J\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Dynamic Supply Routing for a Make-To-Order Manufacturing Network","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Dynamic Supply Routing for a Make-To-Order Manufacturing Network"}],"uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2009-10-12 20:39:10","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:47:54","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2008-04-25T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2008-04-25T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2008-04-25T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2008-04-25 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2008-04-25 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2008-04-25 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1237","name":"College of Engineering"},{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"5938","name":"dynamic supply routing"},{"id":"5939","name":"manufacturing network"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
