The long-term objective of my research program is to develop methods to facilitate the rapid design of production and distribution facilities. This research proposal aims to develop and extend optimization methods for planning and design problems in production and distribution systems. The research described in the proposal covers two broad areas: facility design and distribution systems design. In facilities design, two specific research themes will be explored: F1) Multi-objective dynamic production systems design to deal with uncertainties. The plan is to study this problem by taking into account recourse opportunities. F2) Multi-objective product slotting in distribution centres to minimize picking distance and congestion. In the area of distribution systems design, the specific themes addressed are: S1) Computationally effective methods for order promising in supply networks using clearing functions to model the queuing effects of throughput. S2) Modelling the highly modularized Physical Internet distribution system to understand its behaviour. ***The basic methodologies employed in the fields of industrial engineering and operations research such as linear and integer programming, stochastic modelling, simulation, and mathematical analysis of production and distribution systems will be used. Emphasis will be placed on computational methods to solve these models either optimally or approximately (using heuristics). ***The research themes in this research proposal have practical significance and will make an impact within the industrial engineering research community. Industry involvement in many of these areas will be sought so that the concepts and methods developed will have relevance to industry. The research carried out will advance the current state of knowledge in the domain, and contribute to the training of HQP.**

我的研究计划的长期目标是开发促进生产和分销设施快速设计的方法。 该研究计划旨在开发和扩展生产和分配系统中规划和设计问题的优化方法。 提案中描述的研究涵盖两大领域：设施设计和分配系统设计。 在设施设计中，将探讨两个具体的研究主题：F1）处理不确定性的多目标动态生产系统设计。 该计划是通过考虑追索机会来研究这个问题。 F2) 配送中心的多目标产品货位，以最大限度地减少拣货距离和拥堵。 在配送系统设计领域，解决的具体主题是： S1）使用清算功能对吞吐量的排队效应进行建模的供应网络中订单承诺的计算有效方法。 S2) 对高度模块化的物理互联网分发系统进行建模以了解其行为。 ***将使用工业工程和运筹学领域采用的基本方法，例如线性和整数规划、随机建模、模拟以及生产和分配系统的数学分析。 重点将放在计算方法上，以最优或近似（使用启发式）求解这些模型。 ***本研究提案中的研究主题具有实际意义，并将在工业工程研究界产生影响。 将寻求行业参与其中许多领域，以便开发的概念和方法与行业相关。所进行的研究将推进该领域的知识现状，并有助于 HQP 的培训。 **
