Offer Description
In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the objective of any value chain is to sustainably utilize industrial systems to create outputs that maximize value for customers. However, achieving this goal requires navigating several challenges, both from an outward-looking perspective focused on customer value evolution and sustainability, as well as an inward-looking perspective concerning optimal resource utilization and intrinsic system disruptions.
Leveraging reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) offers flexibility to adapt to changing demands and disruptions. Moreover, Production Planning and Control (PP&C) strategies play a relevant role in enhancing operational performance. These strategies span over different time horizons for effectively managing production activities, resource allocation, scheduling, and decision-making to optimize performance and achieve organizational goals. Feedback loops and real-time decision-making are particularly critical in complex and dynamic manufacturing environments where rapid adjustments are necessary to respond to changing conditions, such as fluctuations in demand, supply disruptions, or production constraints.
A research question arises: “How can planning and control strategies and mechanisms be designed and implemented to enhance the efficiency and reconfigurability of value chains in dynamic industrial environments?
To explore this area effectively, the PhD candidate could delve into several interconnected research areas:
