Research
My scholarship interests involve the application of analytical methods and operations management principles in these areas:
- Health care
- Materials management and logistics
- Lean process improvement
- Transportation analysis
- Sports
I also study the development of pedagogical innovation in operations management (especially involving the use of spreadsheets).
The following working papers are at various stages of development:
Health care:
"Using Simulation to Test Ideas for Improving Speech Language Pathology Services" (with BTB Chan and S Hickey)
"Make No Mistake: Reducing Errors in Hospital Pathology Samples and Information Flow" (with D Schattenkirk)
"Achieving Wait Time Reduction in the Emergency Department" (with BTB Chan and M Strenger)
Materials management and logistics:
"Replenishments in Price Fluctuating Situations: Comparing the Performance of Optimal and Heuristic Approaches" (with JJ Chrisman)
Lean process improvement:
"Developing Production Efficiency Through Lean Manufacturing" (with JS Hirneisen)
Transportation analysis:
"Exploring Airline Fare Pricing"
"Fare Game: Exploring the Impact of Discount Airlines in Philadelphia"
Pedagogical innovation:
"How Big Should Be My Dot? Using Spreadsheet Simulation to Evaluate Subgroup Size Strategies" (with GF Teare)
"Optimization Modeling at the Happy Valley Transit Company: An Analytical Methods Teaching Case"
Applications of analytical model-building:
"Using Decision Analysis to Explore Cable Television Delivery" (with CJ Zappe)
"Assigning Pastors to Parishes: An Optimization Model"
"Selecting Meal Plan Options: A Collegiate Dining Services Analysis" (with S Connor)
Sports:
"A Decision Support System for Scheduling a Professional Sports League" (with KJ Kostuk). Click here for a letter from Michael Copeland, Canadian Football League Chief Operating Officer, verifying our work.
"Does the Number of Days Between Professional Sports Games Really Matter?" (with T Hardy)
