ScholarshipNew Arkansan Non-Resident In-State Tuition Award, 4 years, valued at $40,000

Educational HighlightsSenior Project: J.B. Hunt Inventory Management, Project Manager | January 2016-May 2016

Challenge: Reduce ordering costs by ensuring optimal levels of inventory, minimizing unnecessary back stock, and reducing the need to order supplies from a third party.

Delivered: Designed decision support tool to assist LDC managers with accurate inventory counts and alerts as to when orders need to be placed. Developed Arena simulation model to estimate the performance of the recommendations and determine a minimum safety stock level for each LDC.

Challenge: Redesign airport layout to minimize delays, wait time, and missed flights for passengers as a result of TSA security lines.

Delivered: Our team used Arena software to run simulations and cost analyses to develop multiple system layouts that reduce time spent in security lines from 5 – 16 minutes and 1% of passengers missing flights.

Learned: How to lead and communicate with a team, present in front of world recognized researchers, simulate and animate in Arena, and conduct cost analysis for major projects to conclude optimal decisions.
