- Network problems: Transport and transshipment problems
- Distribution Network Design
- Global supply chain design
- Network design under uncertainty
After successfully passing the class, students should be able to know and apply the models and theories of network design in supply chains.
Furthermore, they should be able to develop and validate optimization models that allow them to compare different network design configurations and to find the optimal network design for a given situation.
