Karl G. Kempf is an Intel Fellow and Director of Decision Technologies in Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG) based in Phoenix, Arizona. Kempf is responsible for directing the continuous improvement of decision-making processes in Intel's capacity supply chain (designing, building, ramping, and running manufacturing facilities) as a member of the staff of Technology Manufacturing Engineering (TME) and in Intel's product supply chain (planning worldwide production and logistics across multiple product lines) as a member of the staff of Supply Network Group (iSNG).
Kempf joined Intel in 1987 and has been involved in designing and implementing decision policies for production scheduling, staffing and cross-training, equipment maintenance, ramp management, equipment selection and layout, strategic and tactical production planning, and logistics operations, as well as a wide variety of modeling and simulation projects. He has produced more than 50 internal publications.
Kempf is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, co-founded and co-chaired the American Association for Artificial Intelligence's Manufacturing Special Interest Group, and served on the editorial board of IEEE's Expert Journal focusing on artificial intelligence applications in manufacturing. He serves as adjunct professor at Arizona State University supervising graduate students in Mathematics, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, and Supply Chain Management. Kempf has published more than 100 research papers in the external literature on various topics in heuristic and mathematical decision science, and has delivered keynote addresses at a number of national and international conferences.
Prior to joining Intel, Kempf worked at McDonnell Douglas Corporation in St. Louis, Missouri, and Huntington Beach, California, where he was a member of the team that won the contract for automating the initial National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Station. He worked previously at Pinewood Movie Studios in England where he participated in filming three Superman* movies, serving on the team that won an Academy Award* for special effects. While working for Ferrari in Italy (on loan from Goodyear), he was involved in winning three Formula I Gran Prix World Championships.
Kempf holds a B.S. in Chemistry (with honors), a B.A. in Physics, a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematic, and completed post-doctoral studies in Computer Science. |
