Abstract: In view of ever-changing manufacturing environment, it is essential to better understand the role that human judgment plays in organisational decision-making for more efficient and sustainable operations. In this research seminar, I intend to share my previous and current research projects in the following areas:
  • selection of sustainable partnerships in the context of the Swiss manufacturing sector;
  • inventory ordering behaviour and its impact on the supply chain sustainability;
  • taking advantage of big social data for demand forecasting and production planning;
  • closed loop energy distribution network design for hydrogen powered lightweight vehicles; and
  • the digitalisation of the closed-loop clinical trials supply chain in reverse flow based on IoT and Blockchain.
I will also share my vision of future research in the area of smart process planning for sustainable manufacturing ecosystems.
