About

With the Netherlands serving as a crucial logistical hub for Europe, it is natural to expect that Erasmus University Rotterdam should be at the forefront in the field of Business Processes, Logistics and Information Systems (LIS) research.

Overview

Erasmus University Rotterdam's LIS programme represents a coherent network of researchers from both the Erasmus School of Economics and Rotterdam School of Management. Cooperation between researchers and departments is stimulated by involvement in research projects and in developing research papers.

Features

Focusing on innovation and optimisation in the areas of business operations, next generation information systems, logistics and supply chain management, ERIM’s Business Processes, Logistics and Information Systems programme contributes significantly to both management research and management practice.

Programme Structure

Research themes:

Logistics and Supply Chain Optimisation:

  • Addressing design, management, optimisation, co-ordination, and planning issues in supply chains and networks, this broad field applies analytical and empirical research methods to a wide array of logistics optimisation and planning problems.
Operations and Innovation Management:
  • Areas of focus include product and service innovation, purchasing and sourcing, manufacturing, outsourcing, distribution, behavioural operations management, and intra-organisational collaboration. Also included is research into the radical innovation of supply chains.
Next Generation Information Systems:
  • Inter-organisational information exchange between different firms in supply chains and its impact on decision-making and performance is a primary research focus as is exploring the opportunities of new information technology concepts such as cloud computing, semantic web technology and business analytics.

  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
  • Accidents
  • Legal aid
