Operations management and optimization of complex and multimodal supply chains
[Open soon]
Work description
The research plan includes the development and implementation of models based on Operations Research techniques, applied to the planning, scheduling, and coordination of resources in global supply chains and intermodal distribution networks, exploring synchromodal strategies to enhance the efficiency, flexibility, and resilience of the chains. As part of the fellowship, the selected candidate will participate in the identification and characterization of real-world optimization problems, the definition of key performance indicators, the development and validation of advanced computational models, and the analysis of results through case studies and computational experiments. The work plan also includes the preparation of scientific publications for international journals and presentations at national and international conferences, as well as the production of technical and scientific reports and the dissemination of research outcomes, fostering the development of research, scientific writing, and scientific communication skills.
