Research/Professional/Teaching Interests

Dr. Schultz has provided planning, guidance, and direction in a variety of technical and research-oriented tasks ranging from Real-Time systems design to Operations Research modeling to procurement and scheduling applications. His most recent accomplishments include the origination and development of the RAMP Induction Schedule Analysis tool that assesses current and future facility requirements for Air Logistic Centers and predicts how induction schedules impact WIP and queuing of aircraft for Programmed Depot Maintenance. Other recent related accomplishments include the design and development of the Resource Constrained Activity Network (RCAN) planning tool that determines flow days for depot maintenance work packages using project scheduling heuristics and simulation.

Other Interests

Production of 3D Yearbooks for the visually impaired
