Industry cooperations

At the Chair of Supply and Value Chain Management we strive for close cooperation with the industry. This way we can demonstrate the connection of research and practical application of our field. Most of our research projects are structured as joint projects to solve real industry problems with a theoretical approach. Current topics include inventory management, vehicle routing and autonomous vehicles.
