Logistics and Supply Chain Management

The research group is dedicated to key topics in logistics and supply chain management, with a specific focus on:

  • Procurement and strategic sourcing management;
  • Optimization, logistics service management, and sustainability in transportation and distribution;
  • Process and supply chain resilience;
  • Retail supply chain, last-mile delivery, and reverse logistics;
  • Sustainability and circular economy along the supply chain.


Our approach is based on transparent and integrated supply chain management, starting from the relationships between suppliers and customers, including logistics operators, where the consumer also plays a crucial role in designing national and international logistics processes and networks.

The group's research adopts an interdisciplinary and collaborative perspective, fostering active dialogue with the business world. Our mission is to encourage companies to view the supply chain not just as an operational process but as a strategic growth element capable of generating added and sustainable value.

Through a rigorous scientific approach that involves data collection and analysis using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the group focuses on exploring innovative strategies and practices for supply chain management. The objective is to enhance the synergy between procurement, logistics, distribution, and omnichannel processes, extending to reverse logistics management in the transition from a linear to a circular economy, contributing to improved sustainability and logistics service across the entire supply chain.
