Every year, the students in the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics’ (MIT CTL) Master of Supply Chain Management (SCM) program complete one-year thesis research projects. SCMR is proud to publish snapshots of these papers on our site as a regular series.
These students are early-career business professionals from multiple countries with 2 to 10 years of experience in the industry. The research projects are sponsored by and carried out in collaboration with multinational corporations. Joint teams of company people, MIT SCM students, and MIT CTL faculty work on real-world problems chosen by the sponsoring companies.
In this monthly series they summarize a selection of the latest SCM research.
The researchers for the project described in the current posting are Brad Gilligan and Huiping Jin, who created the model for their MIT Supply Chain Management Program master’s thesis. The work was carried out for a major US retailer, and the project was supervised by MIT CTL Research Director Dr. Edgar Blanco.
