Logistics

Research objectives of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management team:

  • Research opportunities to improve intralogistics from interdisciplinary contexts (economic, technical-technological, and legal) by using qualitative and quantitative methods (e.g., simulation modeling)
  • Identification of the possibility of using new logistics concepts in the export and import of global supply chains
  • Research organization impact on supply chain Services caused by imperfections in cooperation between Comercial and Logistics department
  • Research digitalization opportunities in Procurement and Logistics
  • Research innovative concepts in Last-mile and City logistics distribution

Main focus:

  • Intralogistics
  • Intermodality in global supply chains
  • Organizational clashes between Comercial departments and Logistics
  • Organizational and contractual relations
  • Digitization in procurement and logistics processes, including the adoption of AI
  • Last-mile and City logistics distribution

What we offer:

  • Contracted research projects
  • Training in Dynamic simulation, Lean Six Sigma, Transport legal relations, Procurement and replenishment
  • Consulting in Logistics, Transport, and process improvements
