LMS works with core faculty |
The program is organized around core faculty of design mentors, top scientists specialized in a subfield of logistics, who cooperate with major industral firms in projects aimed at enhancing the firm's logistics performance. Trainees of the LMS program participate in these projects when doing their own design project during the last year of their term. Prof.dr. T. Van Woensel Prof.dr.ir. J.C. Fransoo Prof.dr.ir.

Interaction with industry is KEY |
Interaction with industry is basic to the program. About one quarter of the program is used for developing technical skills for design in logistics; three quarter of the program consists of activities performed in an industrial setting, such as small scale design assignments, logistic quick scans, andthe logistic design project. The program for each trainee is specifically designed in accordance with the trainee's background, the subfield of logisics chosen, and the industrial firm were the design project will be carried out. |
