University of Vaasa
University of Vaasa Faculty of Technology is a work community of circa 800 students and 50 teachers and researchers. The Faculty is responsible for industrial economics studies, offering computer science and industrial management as major subjects, and engineering studies in cooperation with the University of Technology, offering automation technology, electrical engineering, computer science and telecommunications engineering as major subjects. The Logistics Research Group at the University of Vaasa is focusing understanding the complex dynamics in supply chains that consists of several factories, transportation units, warehouses, retailers and customers. Logistics will be dispersed, global, and driven by new information and material handling technologies. As management becomes more complex and distributed, our research provides the knowledge that can advance a company’s operations.
These systems are modelled by using various quantitative techniques such as system dynamics, discrete event simulation, and queuing theory. The studies focuses on managerial aspects of improving the economic performance measures related to flows of materials, information, and cash. Logistics systems group focuses on research of the economic impact of logistics automation in different industries. To explore the entire logistics systems in industries, we pursue an integrated suite of research initiatives: (1) networking; (2) tools for supply chain planning; (3) new business opportunities in materials handling; and (4) market analyses.
