CELDi The Logistics Institute (TLI) Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) A National Science Foundation sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) • TheCenter for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi)is a multi-university, multi-disciplinary National Science Foundation sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). Research endeavors are driven and sponsored by representatives from a broad range of member organizations, including manufacturing, maintenance, distribution, transportation, information technology, and consulting. CELDi emerged in 2001 from The Logistics Institute (1994) to provide integrated solutions to logistics problems, through research related to modeling, analysis and intelligent-systems technologies. • Research Program • The Center helps industry partners excel by leveraging their supply chain to achieve a distinguishable, sustainable difference. Through basic research, collaborative applied research with industry, technology transfer, and education, the Center is a catalyst for developing the engineering logistics methodology necessary for logistics value chain optimization. • Value-adding processes that create time and place utility (transportation, material handling, and distribution) • Value-sustaining processes that prolong useful life (maintenance, repair, and rework) • Value-recovering processes that conserve scarce resources and enhance societal goodwill (returns, refurbishment, and recycling) • Academic Partners • University of Arkansas, *Center Headquarters • University of Oklahoma • University of Louisville • Oklahoma State University

4. CELDi TLI/CELDi Overview • Center research provides creative, leading edge solutions to real-world problems • Sponsors collaborate with research teams • Benefit from shared research solutions • Employment of a systems perspective and an engineering approach

16. Programmatic Areas • Statistical Methods and Modeling (SMM): TLI is developing new statistical methods needed to drive novel statistical thinking as excessively large or very small data sets are identified in relationship to resource management and optimization of complex communication and logistics networks. • Battlefield Simulation and Intelligent Tracking (BSIT): TLI is exploiting the power of computer simulation, fuzzy modeling and fuzzy inference to support DoD’s needs for computationally efficient approaches for battlefield simulation and intelligent tactical and logistical information systems. • Advance Technology Applications (ATA): TLI is utilizing technologies, such as smart chip/card technologies, data mining of large logistics data sets, data visualization concepts and tools, and site planning and scheduling capabilities, to develop, identify, and deploy information technology into the management of logistics operations. Furthermore, these applications will dramatically improve world-wide command and control of logistics management. • Mathematical Modeling (MM): To accurately model the complex interaction of humans and machines common to Air Force transportation systems, manufacturing, command and control systems, and battlefield management, TLI is developing new mathematical models that have the flexibility to handle incomplete, conflicting and overlapping criteria. These models will reflect the total life cycle to aid in optimal repair/replace decisions for weapons systems by providing more accurate methods of system diagnosis and prediction of component failures. This will support the Air Force’s ability to meet Air Expeditionary Force requirements. • Performance Measurement Development (PMD): We are improving the integration of the Department’s strategic plan to mission outcomes by creating holistic qualitative and quantitative goals and measures for the Department’s annual performance report. Such improvements will provide immeasurable improved efficiency to the Department. TLI is uniquely qualified to support DoD in designing an optimal performance measurement system that integrates high-level objectives with operational and tactical metrics that will drive new decision support aids and support real-time process tracking mechanisms.
