During this case, you will work on two cases with a group of maximum of 4 students.

In between these cases, there will be a dinner break in which you can enjoy dinner with the companies.

At the end of the evening, the winning group will be announced as winners of the evening. With each case, your team scores points for the overall ranking. This overall ranking will determine the best Industrial Engineers of the academic year.

The cases that will be presented this evening are described below:

DAF (The Blind Spot detection case):

You will act as a buyer within global truck company in an industry that is evolving and automating.  To meet the wishes of the customers you have to act fast in scouring a Blind Spot Detection System. You have to convince the board to make budget available. Will you be able to convince them and point out important aspects when sourcing?

Anago ( Achieving the Optimal Distribution):

“Which aspects play a role in making a good planning? How do you make an optimal distribution?

In our case we set to work to distribute the customers of a software company as best as possible over the available servers. Here we have to take into account various dependencies; think of the costs, but also the customer satisfaction of different types of customers.

You will work together in your group on a model that calculates the financial picture and then work towards an optimal distribution. So you have to deal with different challenges and different dependencies in which you have to make trade-offs. You compete against other groups to achieve the best result!”
