• Master's tracks
• Admissions and enrollment
• After graduation
• International students

Would you like to learn how to absorb comprehensive know-how in the field of operations, supply chain and logistics – and how to grow into a leadership role? Are you interested in applying that knowledge as a logistics manager, analyzing the current operational performance of an organization in terms of production and distribution? Do you want to develop the skills to understand an executive overview of the flow of goods between the point of origin and point of consumption? If so, then Operations Management and Logistics at TU/e may well be the master’s program you’re looking for!

Let’s be sure we understand the terminology:

• Operations form the base of every organization, whether in manufacturing, service or non-profit industries. Operations extend from the performance management of a group of design engineers or building in quality feedback loops to the precise prediction of production and delivery performance. Supply chain management and service engineering are also part of operations management.
• Logistics manages the distribution process of resources, ranging from physical items – food, liquids, animals, equipment and materials – to more abstract items such as information, particles and energy.

OML: analyzing an organization’s operational performance

Operations Management and Logistics (OML) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s operational activities.

Improving performance by redesigning business processes

Our OML Master of Science (MSc) degree program provides theory, tools and techniques for the management of operations. You will apply the knowledge that you gain during the program in various projects, learning what it means to carry out your own research. The program is diverse, offering ample room for choice within all tracks. We operate a highly-personalized supervision system and will show you how to analyze the current operational performance of an organization, how to explain it in terms of quality, cost and time, and how to improve this performance by redesigning business processes.

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND LOGISTICS (OML) IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIELD Which focuses ON THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION.

Why should i follow this program at the tu/e and not elsewhere, what makes it unique.

A key feature of the OML program is that the interests of students are paramount in terms of flexibility in the selection process. The program offers the students four tracks that consist of courses that belong together. The final master’s thesis is written about a subject related to the chosen track, specific to the individual course program as well as the interests of the student. These are the tracks:

• Smart Services  
• Supply Chain Management  
• Smart Industry  
• Analytics for Transport and Mobility

What makes OML at TU/e the master’s program for you?

• This program teaches you how to analyze an organization’s operational performance.
• Flexibility in the requirements allows students to design their own programs by selecting not only a track but also electives with a specific focus on different types of activities, methodologies and general knowledge. For example, students can choose to select the elective course package on artificial intelligence/data science. As a student, you also have the opportunity to do a double or dual degree and there are special options for excellent students via honors programs.
• You will graduate as an academic engineer with broad experience in Operations Management and Logistics and sound knowledge of the complex operational and strategic business decisions within companies.

Why TU/e for master OML?

Julia and Emma will tell you their top 3 reasons to pursue the Operations Management and Logistics master at TU/e and take you on a tour of the campus in Eindhoven.

The research deals with the priority areas of digitalization in the transport sector in interpreting the strategy “Moscow ‘Smart City—2030’.” The research aims to study the priority areas of digitalization of transport flows of the metropolis and the potential impact of digitalization on the functioning of the territory. By applying the methods of content analysis and the regulatory-legal method in the research, the authors assessed the position of the city authorities on the most sought-after areas of innovation in the transport sector and determined the composition of socio-economic benefits of digitalization of the transport sector. The analysis of statistical indicators of the development of the transport sector of the Moscow urban agglomeration has confirmed the growing need to improve the efficiency of transport infrastructure in the broad sense, including an increase in the level of connectivity of the city districts and the level of sustainability of the transport system. The results show certain disproportions between the priority areas of transport development and the actual needs of the urban infrastructure, as well as the presence of significant legal constraints in implementing uncrewed transport concepts. It is demonstrated that there is a certain consensus between the municipal authorities and the population on the issue of assigning the transport sector among the priorities for implementing digital technology. The specifics of the metropolitan area (high concentration of capital and innovation activity) allow for considering Moscow as a model example of the introduction of innovative technologies. In this regard, it is necessary to optimize the legal restrictions on the introduction of innovations in the field of transport (on the model of a legal sandbox, Regulatory Sandbox).
