Company Description

NXP Semiconductors designs, develops, and manufactures semiconductors for a wide range of applications. Most notably NXP is the market leader in semiconductors for the automotive industry. The company has over 30.000 employees and operations span the entire globe (over 30 countries).

Project Description

NXP has a complex supply chain to manufacture and deliver semiconductors. Currently, NXP uses centralized/top-down LP models to generate supply chain plans based on capacity and demand. Input parameters are deterministic and change over time, causing plan robustness to be insufficient.

In this project, you will develop a stochastic optimization model to include uncertain parameters in the plan optimization process, leading to more robust supply chain plans.

Goals of the Project

  • Use stochastic optimization techniques to generate robust supply chain plans

Deliverables

1. Stochastic optimization model

2. Improve the current business process using the stochastic optimization model as a decision support system                                                           

Essential student knowledge

  • Affinity with supply chain management
  • Experience with coding in Python or C++
  • Proactive work attitude
  • Communicative
  • Team player
  • Knowledge of stochastic optimization is a pre but not required
