Research Areas
Supply Chain Design
Design in a supply chain entails the analysis, visualization, and modeling of the stages involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request. In recent years and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen how relevant is to continually evaluate such decisions as production planning (off shoring and the new trend of reshoring production), facility location, network flows in multimodal transportation networks, and impacts of local and global supply chains.
