New Industry Projects on Inventory Forecasting

Logistics Systems Dynamics Group (LSDG), and
Panalpina Centre for Maufacturing and Logistics Research at Cardiff University

Cardiff Business School has partnered with Yeo Valley, the largest organic dairy producer in the UK, on a project to streamline the company’s forecasting, planning and replenishment systems. The £220,000 two-year collaborative project is being led by Dr Laura Purvis, Professor Stephen Disney and Professor Aris Syntetos, from the School’s Logistics and Operations Management section. This new project and partnership enables the School and Yeo Valley to conduct research into flexible and resilient operations and supply chain management strategies. The project runs with the contribution of one postdoctoral research assistant, Xia Meng.

The School has also partnered with Hilti on a project co-funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC, UK) to elevate the company’s inventory forecasting performance. Hilti is a multinational company that develops, manufactures, and markets products for the construction, building maintenance, and mining industries. Dr Qinyun Li will be working for the first half of 2018 with Hilti’s global statistical forecasting team, after having been awarded an early career research fellowship grant from ESRC.
