These PhD positions will be part of the NWO-Dinalog project ‘SLOEP’ (Service Logistics for Offshore Energy Production). The project focuses on the implications of the energy transition for offshore service logistics, with the aim to developing smart offshore service logistics concepts for maintaining complex offshore assets and an emphasis on the integration of transport and logistics over different energy sources (in particular oil & gas and offshore wind). One of the positions will study periodic operations and maintenance and develop mathematical models and solution approaches to plan and schedule periodic operations and maintenance services for a range of installations and transportation resources. The other position will address condition-based maintenance and study optimal locations of inventory and maintenance accommodations for logistics networks that might arise in the future, and also develop mathematical models and solution methods for dynamic planning of condition-based maintenance services and resources.
Requirements
Applicants with a Master of Science degree (or equivalent) in Operations Research or Industrial Engineering (with a quantitative focus) are invited to apply.
