Our research mission is to investigate and design a comprehensive, rigorous, and standard set of theoretical methodologies, computer-integrated technological systems, and organizational processes that will lead to fundamentally new decision-making paradigms and business models for Electronic Commerce and Internet-enabled supply-web interactions in the manufacturing industry. Our research focuses on how manufacturing companies can become more competitive in the global marketplace through the use of Internet/Intranet/Extranet technologies in customer-to-business, intra-business, and business-to-business interactions. Our research is inherently multidisciplinary in nature combining engineering, computer science, and business. We work in close collaboration with a wide variety of manufacturing companies to ensure that the research being conducted is not only rigorous but also of use to industry. Example of ongoing and recently completed projects are:

 

• Dynamic configuration and highly-distributed orchestration of supply-webs
• Investigation of outsourcing and bid-assembly strategies for supply-web configuration
• TOME: Similarity-based decision-making
• Design and evaluation of multi-attribute bidding strategies
• Rapid and accurate cost estimation methodologies
