General description of the activity

The group carries out research in production/operations management, management science, industrial engineering, supply chain management, and, specifically, goods and services production management, operational research, supply chain logistics, job evaluation and pay equity, work-time planning and scheduling, the design and improvement of methods, and assembly lines. In practical terms, the group develops systems for production management, interactive systems that use mathematical models, and software. 


Specific areas of research energy field

The overall objective of the research project of EOLI in energy field is focused on the optimization of the design of autonomous systems for rural electrification with renewable energy through the development of models and multicriteria tools to support decision making.

Specifically, we study the design of electrification systems based on the use of solar and wind energy combining the use of individual generators and microgrids, both for developed and developing countries. We adapt the constraints and characteristics of promoters (businesses and other institutions) and future users to ensure that the solutions are successful and sustainable over time.
