Industrial Engineering (1st)
These projects are at the midpoint of a two-semester sequence. They are not complete.
I1.01 Polimeros Opticos Demand Planning
Sponsor: Gerardo Cortes
Student Team: Abi Baldwin, Isaiah Rodriguez, Prabin Dhital
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza
The Demand Planning Management project aims to improve demand forecasting and supply chain management using historical data, application enhancements, and dashboards. Three key areas for this project: demand forecasting, app optimization, and Power BI dashboard development. Improvements will be made to forecasting accuracy, the current demand planning app, and the Power BI dashboards to enhance supply chain management and demand planning scenarios.
I1.02 Supply Chain Planning for Optimized Demand Fulfillment
Sponsor: Polimeros Opticos
Student Team: Karla Romano, Xaritzy Cadena, Rogelio Berlanga, Abdulrahman Jamal Jundi
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza
Our project focuses on enhancing supply chain efficiency for Polimeros Opticos by creating a model that optimizes demand forecasting, supplier selection, and logistics planning. We aim to improve service quality while keeping costs low, ensuring reliable delivery in today's dynamic marketplace.
I1.03 Net-Zero Charging Infrastructure for Electric Aircrafts
Sponsor: EPRI / Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Javier Guillermo Guerrero, Alejandra L. Guardiola Garcia, & Lauren A. 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 and medium size capacity. 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 design solution for the establishment of a Net-Zero Charging Infrastructure for EA (Electric Aircrafts).
