EMIL is a master\u0027s  degree program that helps the world\u0027s leading companies develop global logistics  solutions by grooming their supply chain executives.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIntel, the world\u0027s largest microprocessor manufacturer, and EMIL have worked together since the program was formed. Intel executives have served on the  EMIL Advisory Board and have sponsored executives as EMIL Participants since 2000.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENow, Intel and EMIL are teaming up to support global supply chain innovation  and state-of-the-art research.

In tandem, EMIL\u0027s Advisory Board approved funding through the \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EEMIL Scholars Program \u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E to support faculty research on the same topic. By combining Intel Architecture-based processors with Georgia Tech\u0027s mathematical and engineering expertise, the team will explore the newest frontier in supply chain solutions.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe distributed simulations approach will enable companies to model and manage  the unpredictability of their supply chain as never before. In this research effort, individual supply chain elements are represented via independent simulation  models capable of communicating with one another, much as factories and warehouses communicate. These simulation models, while running on different computers,  interface over the internet using High Level Architecture (HLA), a software infrastructure for support of distributed simulation. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026quot;By increasing the depth of the relationship between EMIL and Intel, we are building new capabilities that allow us to model our businesses as never\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nbefore,\u0026quot; stated Jim Kellso, Manager of Supply Network Research at Intel. \u0026quot;Georgia Tech excels in the engineering and mathematical expertise needed to analyze supply networks while Intel offers the advanced technology needed to make complex simulations possible.\u0026quot;\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor additional information on EMIL and the distributed simulation research  go to \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.emil.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003Ewww.emil.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout EMIL \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nDeveloped as a collaborative effort between the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and an Advisory Board of Fortune 500 companies, such as The Home Depot, Wal-Mart, The Ford Motor Company, FedEx and The Coca-Cola Company, EMIL allows companies to tackle their most critical supply chain challenges while keeping key employees on the job during the 18-month program. EMIL is one of the first advanced degree programs to combine business management with the growing field of global supply chain management. The program includes five 2-week residencies at key locations around the globe. The remainder of the time, participants are on the job using practical techniques taught during EMIL residencies to reduce logistics costs and improve supply chain efficiencies in their real-world situations.
