University West is looking for a PhD student in Production Technology- with focus on production logistics
Within the research group at
https://www. hv.se/en/research/research-environments/production-technology/ at University West, research is carried out by about 90 researchers in the area of production technology in close cooperation with industry. In a well-equipped laboratory, dynamic national and international collaborations are underway.
The scientific work in the PhD project
In a new PhD project in cooperation with Swedish wood-based construction industry we seek a PhD student for a position at University West. The doctoral project covers the area of production logistics, where key aspects of the work will focus on studies of production flows linked to industrial digitalization and concepts such as machine learning and production flow simulation. We focus on applied research in joint collaboration with our industrial partner companies. The doctoral work is aimed at studying production logistics at internal factory level but should also consider the logistical aspects linked to the supply chain for industrialized wood-based construction. Thus, the focus of the work will be to study production logistics internally and between participating companies. Different logistics models within e.g. sales and operations planning, inventory models and methods for production and capacity planning will be explored in relation to manufacturing of wood and wood-based products.
