National Science Foundation awards grant to study multi-echelon inventory optimization
The grant, given to Manuel Rossetti, professor of industrial engineering at the University of Arkansas, supports research that transforms science and engineering studies into practical solutions that help the business community.
Supply chain management isn’t typically an area that would receive funding from the U.S. government's National Science Foundation (NSF), Arlington, Va. But, the agency awarded a $200,000 grant for research on multi-echelon inventory optimization.
The grant, given to Manuel Rossetti, professor of industrial engineering at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark., is part of the NSF's "Partnerships for Innovation: Accelerating Innovation Research-Technology Transfer" program, which supports research that transforms science and engineering studies into practical solutions that help the business community.
