At the Center for Quick Response Manufacturing, University of Wisconsin-Madison, I have been involved in several industry projects to provide recommendations for manufacturing and supply chain issues of partner companies. I also co-supervised graduate students in these projects and conducted executive education sessions on how to utilize lead time metrics and identify improvement opportunities in office and shop-floor operations.
