Presentation to INCOSE Great Lakes Regional Conference, Oct 19, 2018

Closing plenary address at the 2018 International Material Handling Research Colloquium in Savannah, GA, July 26, 2018.

The "Dagstuhl Taiwan" seminar recreated a conventional Dagstuhl Seminar, but in Hsinchu, Taiwan instead of Wadern, Germany.  This presentation addresses a fundamental issue, not just in wafer fab simulations, but in all manufacturing system simulations where operational control must be explicitly modelled.

Plenary address to the 2018 International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing Intelligence, held in Hsinchu, Taiwan at National Tsing Hua University.  

History and Perspective of Simulation in Manufacturing, an invited paper/talk at the 50th anniversary Winter Simulation Conference

A talk to the Material Handling Teachers Institute on teaching systems design to undergrads.

A talk that explores the opportunity to harvest 40 years of innovation in product design to enable a new generation of logistics systems decision support.

A talk given at Arizona State University in 2001, identifying 4 uniquely "IE" grand challenges.  These challenges have guided the Keck Lab research agenda since its founding in 1996.

The problem is overlapping waves into automated sortation when there are more destinations than sort lanes, which leads to sort errors and re-sorting.  The mitigation strategy is minimizing the variance of fulfillment times, so that wave overlap is reduced.
