Lecture - Methods Engineering

Invited lecture within the curricular unit of Methods Engineering: Logistics Process Optimization Systems

In order to promote the learning and application of concepts within the scope of the course, on May 5th the class received, at the invitation of Professor Miguel Vieira, Professor Telmo Pinto from the University of Coimbra (CEMMPRE, ALGORITMI), who presented his extensive experience in vehicle routing problems optimization, and its impact and integration in logistics processes.

The lecture took place in one of the laboratories of Lusófona University and was demonstrated the application of strategies and tools for solving this type of problems. Students had the opportunity to explore the use of a free and opens source computational tool, VRP Spreadsheet Solver (G. Erdogan), which provides an efficient solution method to decision support in real-size problems.
