Manufacturing Enterprise Systems: The Manufacturing Enterprise Systems program addresses research on design, planning and control of operations in manufacturing enterprises, from shop floors to the associated procurement and distribution supply chains. Contributions should impact and extend the range of analytical and computational techniques addressed to extended enterprise operations, and/or advance novel models offering policy insights or the prospect of implementable solutions.Among the categories of research supported are the following: * Analytical and computational tools and systems for planning, monitoring, control, and scheduling of manufacturing and distribution operations * Methods for personnel planning * Methods for evaluation, comparison, and optimization of designs for manufacturing systems and facilities, especially in the presence of massive uncertainty and risk about the operating environment.Recent topics funded: * Planning and control of manufacturing and distribution operations in highly distributed global environments (Scalable Enterprise Systems solicitation) * Real-time manufacturing process control and root-cause analysis * Real-time supply chain control * Design of reverse manufacturing systems and supply-chains * Personnel rotation and scheduling with consideration of learning and forgetting * Reliability and yield analysis in nano-fabrication
