Research in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Research focuses on the design, coordination, and optimisation of supply chains. Key topics include supply chain coordination and contracts, inventory and retail operations, revenue management and dynamic pricing, supply chain analytics and behavioral operations. Emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and data-driven decision making addresses modern challenges.

Research methods

Our multi-disciplinary research is both qualitative and quantitative, usually involving strong analytical and modelling skills while leveraging data analytics and empirical/statistical expertise. It is quantitative and analytical-oriented. This covers methods like stochastic modelling, game theory, discrete optimisation and data analytics. Furthermore, we use explorative methods to uncover innovative topics, e.g. management surveys, roundtables.
We take new data-driven approaches on interdisciplinary collaboration to exploit the full potential, e.g. between IT, statistics and supply chain.
We strive to build an understanding of how to manage and improve the performance of supply chains through better decision-making and coordination. We want to contribute to more robust, sustainable, resilient decision-making and execution of logistics and supply chain management.We are inspired by industry collaboration and strive to apply our methods and findings in real world applications.
