New innovative ways and various intelligent options are required for managing and operating businesses to rebuild necessary resilience. Additionally, addressing challenges arising from the transition from linear to circular economic models to support sustainability requires managing different operations and supply chain management areas together from a holistic perspective.
The Intelligent Operations and Resilient Supply Chains (IORSC) research cluster carries out cutting-edge research and co-creates sustainable solutions with stakeholders. Supply chains and operations face enormous challenges due to ongoing disruptions, especially in critical sectors such as healthcare, food, textiles, automotive, and energy.
The cluster members work on the following two themes broadly:
- Sustainable and resilient supply chain systems
- Intelligent operations systems and product innovation.
