My research addresses the management of logistics processes in supply demand networks, which take place in electronics, machine building, and food industries. This research has developed new approaches on analytical modelling and use of computers solving industrial management problems. This research is primarily conducted within the Logistics Research Group at the University of Vaasa, Finland.
