To ensure that it's not just our customers who make the right decisions, we are seeking high calibre individuals with a mathematical/ operational research background to join our innovative Supply Chain Science team. With a good qualification in Operational Research, Systems Engineering or similar, you will join the Unit responsible for understanding current and emerging requirements for the design, optimisation and operational control of supply chains. Covering issues that cannot be met with existing analysis and decision technologies and seeking novel but practical solutions, the range includes: * Optimal design and strategic investment planning of regional scale supply chain networks * Greenfield factory and distribution system design * Optimisation, design upgrade and capacity planning of existing factories * Advanced optimising operational planning and scheduling systems * Supply chain operational performance improvement via advanced simulation tools The challenges of increased scale and integration of supply chain operations, market uncertainties and e-commerce developments have led to extensive active research programmes with leading academic groups, covering novel concepts and decision algorithms including Complex Adaptive Systems Theory. We also have an active role in advising Unilever companies regarding difficult supply chain decisions, working in multi-disciplinary teams to assess possible solutions and the trial & roll out of our own advanced decision-support systems. To develop and deliver the latest technologies, you must have a strong background in hard and soft systems analysis, discrete event and agent based simulation, mathematical programming, heuristic optimisation techniques and team working. You are likely to have an MSc or PhD and ideally industrial experience of working on supply chain development issues.
