In conjunction with UofL N95 decontamination program, LoDI developed a Decision Support System (DSS) tool to help to determine optimal daily pickup and delivery routes for the program.

We consider a drone delivery problem that could potentially create a significant improvment in terms of cost and time required for providing essential medical supplies.

 We performed an extensive statistical analysis of yearly truck and gauger routing data provided by the company to evaluate and rank productivity, oil quality, and turndown rates of every contracted lease in the system.

Due to limited resources, the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) has a great need for an optimized methodology for allocating available animals to their adoption facilities.

We study the optimal locations of charging stations and their associated capacities, i.e., the number of chargers of various types, for an urban transportation network.

When we store physical items in a space like a warehouse, we might end up with a very high-density storage system. Which means it is more difficult to have access to the desired item.

Logistics and Distribution Institute (LoDI) team assessed warehousing operations at HJI Supply Chain Solutions and proposed a new layout, integrating a collaborative robot, for the order picking system.

The growth of e-commerce has transformed the role of warehouses from repositories of replenishment stock for retail outlets to high-throughput, rapid response order fulfillment centers for end users.

This study propose an analytical optimization model to decipher the length and width of the warehouse and the location of the pick and deposit point to minimize the expected travel distance of picking or put-away operations.

A constant refrain from warehouse managers we meet with is how to make better use of existing space. This research takes aim at a universal but often overlooked source of waste—space between the top of a pallet and the rack above it. By using optimal slot profiling, warehouse managers can maximize space utilization, making room for more product within the same available space.

The aim of this study is to help Trager Institute safe and efficient operations with respect to COVID-19 restrictions.
