Supply chains are networks of logistic and manufacturing activities starting with raw material sourcing and ending with the distribution of finished goods to markets. A complete supply chain usually involves several companies and several production/warehousing facilities. The performance of a supply chain for a given product-market critically depends on two interdependent strategic issues: 1) the network structure, i.e. the number, location, mission, technology and capacity of the facilities of the firms involved; 2) the material flow planning and control processes used, i.e. the methods used to prepare aggregate plans, to compute requirements, lot-sizes, safety-buffers, etc., and to schedule operations for the various production/distribution stages in the network. My research is dealing: 1) at a global level, with the development of methodologies and tools to evaluate potential structural and procedural supply chain strategies; 2) at a more detailed level, with the formulation and solution of mathematical models which can be used to optimize the supply chain network structure or to plan material flows in specific contexts. In both cases, an effort is made to formulate models which can be integrated in distributed planning systems for specific industrial sectors.

供应链是物流和制造活动的网络，从原材料采购开始，以向市场分销成品结束。一个完整的供应链通常涉及几家公司和几个生产/仓储设施。一个特定产品市场的供应链的绩效在很大程度上取决于两个相互依赖的战略问题：1)网络结构，即所涉企业设施的数量、位置、任务、技术和能力；2)所使用的物流计划和控制过程，即用于编制总体计划、计算需求、批量、安全缓冲等的方法，以及为网络中的各个生产/配送阶段调度作业的方法。我的研究涉及：1)在全球层面上，开发评估潜在的结构性和程序性供应链战略的方法和工具；2)在更详细的层面上，制定和解决可用于优化供应链网络结构或在特定背景下规划物流的数学模型。在这两种情况下，都在努力制定可以整合到特定工业部门的分布式规划系统中的模型。
