Value Chain Management and E-Logistics (EFMI - Executive MBA)

Om waarde aan de markt te kunnen leveren, moeten bedrijven hun waardeketen begrijpen en bepalen hoe zij de supply chain beheren vanuit een vraagperspectief. Bijna alle bedrijven worden geconfronteerd met een toenemende complexiteit in hun supply chains als gevolg van wereldwijde concurrentie, veeleisendere klanten, wereldwijde outsourcing en digitale ontwikkelingen. Deze module gaat in op strategische en operationele aspecten van de waardeketen en daagt uit om na te denken over de stappen die moeten worden gezet om van de supply chain een duurzaam concurrentievoordeel te maken. De module biedt een overzicht van state-of-the-art academische literatuur op het gebied van supply chain management. Specifiek richten we ons op koper-leverancier relaties, de rol van outsourcing, het belang van duurzaamheid en maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen bij het vormgeven van supply chains en logistieke operaties.

Facility Design and Planning (MSc Technology & Operations Management, MSc Supply Chain Management)

Facilities are key elements in the creation of products and services in supply chains. Examples include factories, call centres, warehouses and ports. The aim of this course is to learn how to design such facilities from its physical manifestation to its organisation, aiming at objectives such as efficiency, quality, timeliness and human factors. We focus on topics like facility layout, material flow design, equipment selection, process planning, job assignment, and worker task composition. Both heuristic and algorithmic solution approaches are treated, as well as qualitative aspects.

Design of Combinatorial Algorithms (MSc Econometrics, Operations Research & Actuarial Studies)

In this course students will learn to find solutions for unstructured problems from practice for which no solution methods are available from literature. During the course students will go through all stages of the design process. First creating a proper mathematical representation of the problem, followed by searching literature for solution approaches for related problems, identifying opportunities, designing solution approaches, implementing the approaches in software, benchmarking of performance, and reporting of results. This course format will bring to light various methods from current Operations Research literature that have not been treated in other courses before. Students will learn the skills to identify promising avenues and instrumental usage of available scientific knowledge for solving problems at hand.

Discrete Operations Research (BSc Econometrics and Operations Research)

This course introduces and expands on a number of Operations Research techniques that are pivotal in solving many problems that arise in practice, such as supply chain optimization, design of telecommunication networks, facility layout, freight transportation, and work rostering. Applicable methods include Linear and Integer Programming, Graph Theory, Dynamic Programming, and heuristics.
