Research Programs
My professional research interests are in developing Intelligent
Manufacturing Systems for the Wood Products Industry. The research program
in Intelligent Manufacturing is composed of "Predictive Modeling Systems
for Wood Composites", "Sensing Systems for Human Machine Interface
Platforms", "Tennessee Quality Lumber Intiative", and "Corporate
Training Programs in Continuous Improvement using Statistical Methods".
These professional interests are based on the W.
Edwards Deming's philosophy of continuous improvement. My role as a Research
Assistant Professor in the Tennessee Forest Products Center is to conduct applied
research which will improve the manufacture of wood products. The primary focus
of this research is to help wood products producers in Tennessee, teh region
and beyond improve their competitiveness through the use Intelligent Manufacturing
systems.
One very successful research program is the Tennessee
Quality Lumber Initiative (TQLI). The TQLI is an applied research program
for the lumber industry that focuses on improving the quality of manufactured
lumber.
