Industrial Engineering (2nd)
These projects are at the endpoint of a two-semester sequence. They are functionally complete.
I2.01 Polimeros Opticos Demand Planning
Sponsor: Gerardo Cortes
Student Team: Abi Baldwin, Isaiah Rodriguez, Prabin Dhital, Oluwatimisore Akinbodunse
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza
The Demand Planning Management project aims to improve demand forecasting and supply chain management using historical sales data. Three key areas for this project: demand forecasting, creating methodology, and Business Intelligence dashboard development. Improvements made covers demand coverage & financial analysis visualization, demand planning, and the BI dashboard to enhance supply chain management and demand planning scenarios.
I2.02 Supply Chain Planning for Optimized Demand Fulfillment
Sponsor: Polimeros Opticos
Student Team: Karla Romano, Xaritzy Romano, Abdulrahman Jundi, Rogelio Berlanga
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza
This project develops a data-driven supply chain model integrating supplier selection and logistics to minimize costs and maximize profitability. It optimizes resource allocation while assessing demand variations and disruptions. The model provides insights and recommendations to enhance resilience and performance in dynamic markets.
I2.03 Net-Zero Infrastructure Planning for Electric Aircraft
Sponsor: EPRI / Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Javier Guerrero, Alejandra Guardiola, Lauren Cravy
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza
To provide battery charging solutions for prompting environmental sustainable travel and reducing the carbon emissions associated with air transportation, beginning with the adoption of electric aircraft in small to medium size airports. Electric aviation introduces a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to reduce environmental impacts of current air travel. The team’s objective is to propose a planning solution for the establishment of a Net-Zero Charging Infrastructure for EA (Electric Aircrafts).
