Worten Merit Award presented to Industrial Engineering and Management Students.
The award recognized the best project developed by a team of students from Técnico in the course of Warehouse and Materials Management.
Some students involved in the Warehouse and Materials Management course, part of the Master’s in Industrial Engineering and Management at the Instituto Superior Técnico, presented their final projects last Friday, November 3rd, in response to challenges posed in the 3rd edition of the Worten Merit Award 2023/2024.
Over approximately six weeks, students had access to a set of data and information, as well as an initial briefing, with the aim of addressing various challenges identified by Worten, such as the number, location, and sizing of warehouses. The students were tasked with finding solutions to enhance fast deliveries and optimize the cost of the supply chain.
Rogério Colaço, President of Técnico, congratulated all the students for their effort and work, emphasizing the significant role that business partnerships play for Técnico: “These initiatives reflect the importance of Técnico in having its partners. It would never be possible to offer this type of experience without the partnerships we build with companies and the business community.”
