I worked 3 days a week in Boart Longyear in Shannon, Co Clare as part of my Masters Degree (by research) developing simulation models of segments of the manufacturing system, conducting experiments and reporting results. Some of the work completed included investigating alternative capital investment decisions to aleviate the bottleneck, investigating alternative manufacturing routing strategies, investigating bottleneck work scheduling and investigating inventory management strategies
