Current potential research project
Logistics and distribution networks
- Supervisors: Prof. Lee Luong, Dr Yousef Amer and Dr Romeo Marian
- Area: Logistics and supply chain management
- Abstract: The movement of products through a distribution network is a complex dynamic process that depends on understanding the networks fixed topology including how each node stores, handles and forwards items. Increased environmental awareness is also bringing the reverse logistics processes into focus. The need to design for this process of product return, re-use and re-cycling means that businesses need to focus their supply chain systems to accommodate these rising challenges. Research topics include;
- Reverse logistics and close loop supply chains and their optimisation
- Use of genetic algorithms (GA), life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) and risk assessment to design and evaluate complex distribution networks
