Research Areas
Logistics Information
Delivery System (LIDS)
LIDS developed a commercial off-the-shelf
solution enabling shipboard maintenance personnel to access,
manipulate, and manage distributed logistics data sources in
support of shipboard systems maintenance.
This
project developed a normalized, database management system
to house CCAD's traveler data and provide user-friendly

to generate HTML travelers directly from the integrated
database.
KCHR developed technology for
recording and tracking the history of parts activity within
shop kits and for generating detailed, web-based reports
of this data.
The VE3 project developed a
groupware-based collaborative process definition, design,
and engineering environment in support of a "Virtual
Enterprise" (VE) that facilitates collaboration among
multiple enterprises.
The SSIPT project joined simulation modeling
and data warehousing in developing a system that both
provides visibility of data and inventory in a single
"virtual" database and allows for testing
of supply support processes against a wide variety of
scenarios.
The
BOM project focused on developing a database management
system able to integrate a wide variety of bill of material
data and an interface to support data search, review,
and reporting capabilities.
