Potential supervisors:
- Chris Rutherford
- Umit Bititci
Logistics and Supply Chain Research Project 2
SCM value creation in the digital world is no longer simply linear and additive. Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a structured approach to study the relationship patterns among interacting network nodes that can capture behaviour led value creation. The research would examine how digitalisation affects SCM value creation.

In supply chain management.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) focuses on the effective and efficient management of the lifecycle of products and services. Successful SCM is imperative for any competitive business, but also for the public sector and other non-profit organisations. Through our research, education and engagement, we have an established record in achieving double impact; not just within academia but also in society at large. In research, we focus on four main areas:
- Topics: International supply chains, sustainability, and facility logistics
- Methods: Predominantly quantitative modelling, some large-scale empirical studies
- Topics: Planning, design and real-time management of transportation and logistics systems (goods and persons)
- Methods: Mostly quantitative methods and tools
- Topics: Demand forecasting, inventory management, assortment planning, supply chain coordination
- Methods: Analytical modelling, empirical methods and behavioral experiments
- Topics: Supplier relations, contracting, health care procurement
- Methods: Empirical methods including qualitative research, field and behavioral experiments

https://ioc.upc.edu/ca/docencia/scom
The concept of the supply chain (SC) emerged as the result of successive extensions to approaching production processes. Terminology, from the organisation of production to industrial organisation, operations management (OM) and comprehensive logistics has converged to ‘the supply chain’, and it currently refers to a network of entities that participate in the design, procurement, distribution, and when necessary the recovery, remanufacturing and recycling of certain goods and services as well as the flows of materials, finances, information and people between these entities. Thus, it is an integrative concept that reflects the actual development of the supply systems for goods and services. As a result of these developments, a growing proportion of supply chains have a global reach, which makes it difficult to optimise their design and management and shifts focus to or reinforces the importance of other concepts, such as resilience and robustness. Also, the growing concern for sustainability and respecting the environment is reflected in the increasing significance being given to research into the green design and management of these supply chains and CLSCs (closed loop supply chains, a concept that stems from the development of inverse logistics). Currently, the concept of the supply chain, which includes and exceeds logistics and operations management, centres on research into supply, production, distribution and recovery. Although, strictly speaking, the concept of supply chain management includes operations management, the joining of the two names in the title of the present doctoral programme shows which aspect of supply chain management receives more emphasis. Research staff involved in the programme have far-reaching and recognised experience with teaching, researching, and supervising doctoral theses in the subject matters involved in the programme. The participation of this staff in research projects and conferences as well as publications in high impact journals further demonstrate their research experience in matters related to the Supply Chain and Operations Management (SCOM) programme. The aim of the doctoral programme in SCOM is to promote and carry out research related to the supply chain and thus contribute to improving the economic and environmental efficiency of all kinds of organisations. This programme responds to the need to train highly qualified R&D personnel who can improve the efficiency and environmental impact of the processes of supply, production, distribution, recovery, remanufacturing and recycling. The programme is particularly valuable to a region in which industry and logistics are especially relevant, such as Catalonia. But, the needs for the training provided by the programme extend across the globe and thus, the programme has a strong international component. Because of the nature of the SC, research in the field encompasses a variety of methodologies, and the aims of this research could be to develop concepts, to build theories based on empirical evidence or to formalise problems related to the design and management of SCs (which may or may not involve creating and utilising mathematical models). The research activities performed by the academic staff involved with the programme has yielded results in all of the facets mentioned regarding the design and management of the supply chain and the operations management at its core.
General information
Access profile.
The most appropriate academic background for admission to the doctoral programme in SCOM would be holding a science or technology degree and having completed a master’s programme in Industrial Engineering, Organisational Engineering or Logistics/Supply Chain (a master’s programme offering scientific contents similar to those in the present programme). In addition to this academic background, certain personal characteristics are considered important, such as having interest in the research projects that are carried out in the programme, having critical and analytical capacities, having initiative, being consistent and persistent with work, being able to work in a team and being able to communicate appropriately both orally and in writing.
Output profile
Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research ( Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies ):
a) A systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field. b) An ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of research or creation. c) An ability to contribute to pushing back the frontiers of knowledge through original research. d) A capacity for critical analysis and an ability to assess and summarise new and complex ideas. e) An ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general as regards their fields of knowledge in the manner and languages that are typical of the international scientific community to which they belong. f) An ability to foster scientific, technological, social, artistic and cultural progress in academic and professional contexts within a knowledge-based society.
The award of a doctoral degree must equip the graduate for work in a variety of settings, especially those requiring creativity and innovation. Doctoral graduates must have at least acquired the personal skills needed to:
a) Develop in contexts in which there is little specific information. b) Find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem. c) Design, create, develop and undertake original, innovative projects in their field. d) Work as part of a team and independently in an international or multidisciplinary context. e) Integrate knowledge, deal with complexity and make judgements with limited information. f) Offer criticism on and intellectually defend solutions.
Finally, with respect to competencies, doctoral students must: a) have acquired advanced knowledge at the frontier of their discipline and demonstrated, in the context of internationally recognised scientific research, a deep, detailed and well-grounded understanding of theoretical and practical issues and scientific methodology in one or more research fields; b) have made an original and significant contribution to scientific research in their field of expertise that has been recognised as such by the international scientific community; c) have demonstrated that they are capable of designing a research project that serves as a framework for carrying out a critical analysis and assessment of imprecise situations, in which they are able to apply their contributions, expertise and working method to synthesise new and complex ideas that yield a deeper knowledge of the research context in which they work; d) have developed sufficient autonomy to set up, manage and lead innovative research teams and projects and scientific collaborations (both national and international) within their subject area, in multidisciplinary contexts and, where appropriate, with a substantial element of knowledge transfer; e) have demonstrated that they are able to carry out their research activity in a socially responsible manner and with scientific integrity; f) have demonstrated, within their specific scientific context, that they are able to make cultural, social or technological advances and promote innovation in all areas within a knowledge-based society; g) have demonstrated that they are able to participate in scientific discussions at the international level in their field of expertise and disseminate the results of their research activity to audiences of all kinds.
Number of places
Duration of studies and dedication regime.
Duration The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.
If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.
For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.
When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.
Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.
Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.
Extension of studies If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.
Dismissal from the doctoral programme A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:
- The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
- The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
- The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
- The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
- The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student
Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan.
Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.
At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.
The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.
If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director
The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.
The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.
PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.
The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.
A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.
Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.
If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.
The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.
For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.
More information at the PhD theses section
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.
Learning resources
The Department of Management, one of the entities sponsoring this programme, offers a workshop, a library and a computer room where candidates may work. The Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering, the other sponsoring entity, offers candidates a workshop, library and laboratories with sufficient equipment for students to complete their doctoral theses (Logistics Laboratory, Robotics Laboratory and the Control Laboratory).

Research approach.
We conduct empirical research alongside internationally renowned supply chain and operations scholars to expand our knowledge and provide new insights to both theory and practice. Our research has been published in both the leading international academic journals and more practice-oriented publications. Both our research and our service have received “outstanding” awards from some of these highly competitive outlets.
Research topics
Globalization has not just led to the growth of complex operational networks but the need for additional coordination. Besides looking for ways in which such operational streams (loops) can become more resilient to supply chain disruptions and other risks, we analyse the impact that national cultures have on the operations of plants and networks.
Research methods
Supply chain management is still a nascent discipline. Many of the extant research methodologies need to be adjusted to meet the discipline’s idiosyncrasies. We are focused on the development of new ways to adapt current methodological standards to meet the curent needs of global supply chain managers.
Social sustainability
Recent years have shown a growing public concern about ethical corporate conduct. The public now demands that firms no longer pursue economic goals exclusively but consider environmental and social implications as well. At our Chair, we are trying to find ways to promote sustainability that can be embedded in the enterprise while taking a special interest in the social issues related to current practices in operations and supply chain management.
Digitalisation
The digital age does not just affect social interactions in our society, but how products and services are designed and produced. Digital technologies are creating new kinds of service-product interactions, new changes in production methods, and more proximity of the customer to the product/service, all of which may have a ripple effect on the entire supply chain. In this vast area, we are particularly interested in how supply chains are reshaped by some of these technologies and in how users in production networks accept and adapt to these new patterns.

During this time, you could also be writing up academic papers for submissions to journals & conferences and working on industry-related projects.
Comprehensive Exam
Ph.D. coursework is frequently completed in the first few years of your doctorate. Before you’re allowed to write your dissertation, you’ll usually be expected to pass a Comprehensive Exam. This exam will test your knowledge of the material covered in your Ph.D. program in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. It’s typically a written exam, although departments often have the discretion to make it an oral exam as well.
Dissertation & Defense
Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics Programs almost always include a five-chapter dissertation. (DBA programs could contain a doctoral thesis.) Here’s how the Ph.D. dissertation process works:
- Choose a Dissertation Topic: You’ll collaborate with a faculty advisor to find a topic of interest. A dissertation should be a deep-dive into a specific realm of research. Examples of real-life SCM dissertation titles include: “A Study of the Relationship Between Lean Manufacturing Practices and Supplier Performance;” “A Diagnosis of Supply Chain Integration in the Health Sector;” and “Product-Service Bundling in Manufacturing Firms.”
- Defend Your Proposal: Once you’ve selected your dissertation topic, you’ll be expected to develop a research proposal and gain departmental approval to write your dissertation. For example, you might be asked to deliver an oral presentation about your proposed topic.
- Write Your Dissertation: If your dissertation proposal is accepted, you can begin gathering data and pursuing research avenues. A Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics dissertation is typically around 100-120 pages long, so be prepared to spend a few years in writing up your work.
- Defend Your Dissertation: Before you can graduate, you will need to defend your dissertation in front of a committee. The committee will usually consist of three to five members, including a chairperson. The committee will ask you questions about your research and dissertation. You may also have to answer questions from an audience.

PhD on purchasing strategies to enable circularity in the hospital value chain
Introduction.
ESHPM has a vacancy for a PhD student: Purchasing strategies to enable circularity and sustainability in the hospital value chain
Do you have an interest in healthcare, circular economy, sustainability and purchasing/supply chain management? Do you like the idea of working with concepts and theories related to circularity and supply (chain) management and combining these with quantitative as well as qualitative research methods to create a sustainable and resilient healthcare system? Then we are looking for you!
Job description
While the goal of healthcare is to maintain or improve the quality of life of individuals and populations, it is at the same time a sector with significant negative impact on the environment. The healthcare sector is a considerable contributor to climate change and biodiversity loss, and therefore harms population health through the same activities with which it tries to improve.
Looking at hospitals in the Netherlands (as in many other countries), their value chain is mostly a linear system in which many single-use disposable products are procured and used, like gloves, syringes, infusion bags, catheters, video laryngoscopes, robot surgery consumables, consoles, sensors, cables and multiple layers of packaging. Medical consumables and their packaging require substantial amounts of energy and use of (virgin) materials during their production and are often disposed of after single-use. As most of the hospital waste is incinerated, the value of the materials is destroyed. Even worse, due to extremely strict protocols focused on efficiency and infection prevention, many consumables are disposed of without being used at all, still in their unopened, original packaging. Given the current climate- and resource crisis, there is an urgent need for a more circular approach concerning material use in the healthcare sector, based on three core principles: (1) design out waste and pollution, (2) keep products and materials in use, and (3) regenerate natural systems.
The implementation of circularity requires changes in various areas, calling for transdisciplinary research. Implementation of circularity in hospitals requires attention to behaviour of healthcare staff on the shopfloor, regulation and policy governing healthcare, product design, and also purchasing and supply (chain) management (PSM). Purchasing and supply management goes well beyond just negotiating and ordering and is meant to encompass all elements of the purchasing process, including demand management, specification, supplier selection (incl. tendering), contract management and supplier relationship management.
This position is part of the NWO-funded research project 'Evidence-based Strategies to create Circular Hospitals: Applying the 10-Rs framework to healthcare' (ESCH-R) in which a consortium of researchers coordinated by Erasmus MC takes up the mission to accelerate the application of circular interventions in hospitals and reduce the ecological footprint of healthcare in the Netherlands. Together with industry partners, such as SABIC, Philips, Medtronic, two Dutch University Medical Centers, namely Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) and University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), and other consortium partners, the interdisciplinary research team will develop strategies that are circular, safe and scalable. Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), in particular Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM) participates in work package 4 (WP4) of the ESCH-R project together with Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The aim of WP4 is to identify Business Models and accompanying ecosystem designs along with relevant Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM) strategies that create economic and environmental value for stakeholders along the value chain. The PhD project at ESHPM will focus on the development of viable PSM strategies for supply chain partners to enable circularity in the hospital value chain. The execution of this project demands close collaboration with a PhD researcher at TU/e, faculty at TU/e and EUR-ESHPM, purchasers at Erasmus MC and UMC Utrecht, suppliers of medical devices and other consortium partners. The PhD candidate will be based at the section Health Services Management & Organisation (HSMO) at Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM), a faculty of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR). Strategically, ESHPM is investing in three main themes: Planetary Health, Sustainable Workforce, and ‘Global Health. Through these initiatives, ESHPM is at the forefront of shaping healthcare policy and management, innovating for sustainable future in healthcare. More vacancies for PhD positions at ESHPM will appear soon around these three themes, including additional positions in the area of sustainability and circularity in healthcare.
