Thesis track: Operations Research and Logistics - Biosystems Engineering
The goal of logistics is to get the right product, in the right quantity, and the right quality, at the right time, at the right place as efficient as possible while fulfilling the requirements of the stakeholders (such as regulations from the government).
This requires the design of effective innovative logistical concepts in agri-food chains and networks. Examples are the design of greenhouses developed for optimal logistics or designing a dairy production process with minimum costs for storage.
