Activities...

 

The mission of the Optimisation of Production Systems Laboratory (OPS) is to support research activities and to offer high quality education services in the areas of modeling, simulation and optimization of production systems. Our research interests are focused in the development of tools and methods to provide solutions in a wide area of real world, practical applications, including production planning, resource management, manufacturing, supply chain management, energy and environmental problems. The research interests as well as the priorities of OPS Lab are mainly focused on the development and implementation of Operations Research (Mathematical Programming) Tools, but also in their implementation for the definition of the optimal solution in a wide range of real and contemporary problems concerning energy use, supply chain management and other streams i.e. fuel and water streams and in addition evaluation and minimization of the environmental impacts resulting from production activities.

 

In the general case the OPS Lab activities can be summarized as follows:
